Advocacy

Join The Council Of Churches of Greater Bridgeport in our mission to advocate for justice and equity in our communities. Together, we can work towards policy changes that will create positive and lasting impacts for all. Be part of the movement for change.

Why do we engage in advocacy?

The Council of Churches is dedicated to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society.  We advocate for structural and enduring changes that will improve the lives of those who are systematically and institutionally disadvantaged. 

 

By promoting awareness of critical issues and mobilizing our common voice, we can work alongside community partners to achieve justice, provide equal opportunity, and restore human dignity. 

 

For 75 years, we have provided critical social services to those in need.  We can care for people without advocacy, but not nearly as effectively.  Only by engaging with others – educating our neighbors and working with our leaders – can we change unfair systems that allow injustice to continue and have an impact for generations to come.
