We host an advocacy table at our Winter Farmer’s Market to encourage market goers to join us in our work for justice and equity in the world.
During the 2024-25 season we’re focussing (but not solely) on climate justice issues and have representatives from Climate Action Evanston joining our advocacy efforts. So stop by the table at the market and learn how you can help green our planet, or send a postcard to a legislator.
ELCA Advocacy
Immanuel follows the tenets of ELCA Advocacy:
“As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. God uses our hands, through our direct service work and our voices, through our advocacy efforts, to restore and reconcile our world. Through faithful advocacy, the ELCA lives out our Lutheran belief that governments can help advance the common good.
ELCA advocacy works for change in public policy based on the experience of Lutheran ministries, programs and projects around the world and in communities across the United States. We work through political channels on behalf of the following biblical values: peacemaking, hospitality to strangers, care for creation, and concern for people living in poverty and struggling with hunger and disease. ”
