April 5-8 in Washington, DC!

Deadline to get discounted hotel rates is March 16th!

This dynamic weekend in Washington, D.C., incorporates two complementary events: Compassion, Peace, and Justice Training Day on Friday, April 5, and Ecumenical Advocacy Days, April 5-8. The ministries of Compassion, Peace and Justice of the PC(USA) are coming together for the 3rd Annual CPJ Training Day to educate Presbyterians on the work of the PC(USA) in the face of injustices in global food systems. Following CPJ Training Day, the ecumenical community will gather during Ecumenical Advocacy Days to seek the abundance and equality that we find reflected in the biblical image of God’s great banquet table. Inspiring speakers will offer a faith-based vision for fair and humane food policies and practices, along with grassroots advocacy training, all culminating with Monday’s Lobby Day on Capitol Hill. For more information on both events, email catherine.gordon@pcusa.org.
