Faithful Voting 2024: Living Out Our Values at a Hinge Moment

Faithful Voting 2024

Our faith values call us to demonstrate love of neighbor in the public sphere. We are at a hinge moment for the environment. People of faith are a hinge voting group. Good fruit comes from good trees. Marqus Cole, Organizing Director of Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (IP&L), will share a call to shared values and vision for the types of policies that care for creation. He will introduce resources such as the national IP&L Faithful Voter Reflection Guide and the “Ballot Ready” tool in preparation for the upcoming election. Marqus will conclude with an important call to action and will be available to answer questions.

Webinar Date: Monday, October 14, 2024

Time: 7:30 pm Eastern, 6:30 Central, 5:30 Mountain, 4:30 Pacific

Presenter: Marqus Cole, Organizing Director, GA IP&L

Marqus originates the role of Organizing Director with Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (GIPL). In this capacity, he leads GIPL’s advocacy initiatives including federal work with the Climate Action Campaign, intervention at the Public Service Commission, and water policy work with the Georgia Water Coalition. He also directs organizers outside Metro Atlanta in outreach.

Marqus is a Grist 50 Fixer and a Public Voices Fellow with the Op-Ed Project
in Partnership with the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. An attorney by training, his thought leadership sits at the intersection of racial, environmental & biblical justice with a passion for helping organize people and communities toward reconciliation and restoration.

Marqus finds himself living and working in a hinge community, at a hinge moment, for historic climate action. Marqus uses his unique voice to share stories and teach others to share their stories, that bridge the gap between key stakeholder communities and the policies they need. He engages communities from his experience and context as a Black, millennial, professional, and person of faith working in the civic arena in the Bible Belt.

Marqus holds a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from DePaul College of Law and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from Georgia State University in Political Science.
