| Friday November 5, 2004 Clear and Strong For The Long Haul: Interfaith Voices Will Continue to Pray & Work for Real Democracy No Matter Who Is in the White House 10:00 am Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP) invites you to a press conference and rally to hear the prophetic voices that will continue to confront the ongoing challenges of our society, regardless of the outcome of the Presidential election. We believe that the work of democracy today goes much deeper than the quadrennial election. ICUJP is at the heart of a vital new national progressive interfaith community, a community in formation that believes that the growing domestic inequality and the pursuit of empire abroad are linked issues. Despite the media's perception, large numbers of people of many faiths are united in believing that our political system no longer supports the least among us and no longer creates opportunities for our youth, especially our youth of color. We stand as well for the vast majority of the world's people who have no voice in American elections but whose very lives often depend on decisions made by the U.S. government -- so as leaders of faith we also commit ourselves to representing all these other children of God. Here in Los Angeles and nationally we intend to wage our struggles around ten basic principles that all our faith traditions hold in common. Join us and learn more. This event is free and open to the public. Organized by: 626.683.9004 We invite you to join us every Friday morning at 7:00 am at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 3330 Wilshire Blvd. at Berendo when we meet for reflection, education and planning.
