Director of Campaigns and Development at the Franciscan Action Network Jason Miller discusses Senator Joe Manchin’s intransigence.
Jason Miller challenges Joe Manchin
Miller returned to Politics Done Right to give us an update on the Franciscan Action Network. Most importantly, he wanted to address Joe Manchin’s intransigence.
Faithful Democracy is a growing national coalition of diverse congregations, faith-based organizations, and religious leaders with a shared concern about the state of our democracy in the 21st Century. We recognize the need to reform our foundational democratic systems to align more closely with the ideals of a beloved community in which all members belong and contribute. Any major movement dedicated to comprehensive reform—from the care of creation to civil rights and debt relief for developing countries—has included people of faith’s unique voice and perspective. Our network of faith-based partners joins voices around the need for transformational democracy reform.
The Franciscan Action Network is a collective Franciscan voice seeking to transform United States public policy related to peacemaking, care for creation, poverty, and human rights.
