During this time when many of our government institutions are being threatened and dismantled, it is imperative we protect the systems and processes that safeguard our right to vote. General Convention called for reforms that would expand voter registration, increase voter eligibility, and make voting processes more accessible. Legislation recently introduced would restrict these rights and cause harm, with the potential for millions of eligible voters to be disenfranchised. Safeguarding our right to vote is just one of the policy priorities of The Episcopal Church.
The Office of Government Relations (OGR) represents the policy priorities of The Episcopal Church to the U.S. government in Washington, D.C. and helps to shape the discussion of political issues throughout the Church. OGR aims to influence policy and legislation on critical issues, highlighting the voices and experiences of Episcopalians and Anglicans globally. All policy positions are based on General Convention and Executive Council resolutions.
