For my engaging politics assignment
I have been following and going to events to learn more about the Interfaith
Alliance of Colorado. It is a community of faith organization that promotes
justice, diversity, respect and opportunity for all. I became interested in
this organization because of their current involvement with the civil unions
bill and all of the work they have done to support and promote it in the past.
I am very much in favor of
supporting equality for same sex couples and was very interested in getting
involved. I plan to attend various breakfasts, lunches and other one on one
meetings as a guest of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado, in order to find
out more about what is being done to support civil unions. I will also be
working with Jeremy Shaver, the executive director, to find out more about the
organization. I have learned that Interfaith Alliance does not only support
equality for LGBT individuals, but that they are also strong advocates for
immigration reform and women’s reproductive rights.
From what I have learned in
speaking with Jeremy thus far about Interfaith Alliance, I have found that it
is so important to become involved within your state. Our senators hold more
power than I think most people realize. We need to get involved in order to
make a difference and a change. I know that I will continue to do so because of
this experience.
