We're entering the home stretch of our membership drive contest, and many of you have been successful in recruiting friends to join the network. Thanks to you we now have over 24,000 Episcopal voices calling for "peace and justice among all people" (BCP).

We’re getting ready for a new president and a new Congress! We want to speak – even shout! - for justice with the strongest possible voice from the day both are sworn into office. Spreading the word about the EPPN is an important part of our advocacy. While sending a message to a friend inviting them to join the EPPN is different from sending a message to a legislator, they are equally important parts of our work. A new administration and new Congress will be especially attuned to what they hear from their constituents. Imagine if every EPPN member recruited just one other person to join the network – we could double our voice in Washington.

This week, send a message to a friend (or two or three . . .) inviting them to join the EPPN. Remember to use this link so that we can give you credit for the recruits.

As part of the membership drive, there are prizes for the members who recruit the most people to join the EPPN – for more information about the prizes click here: http://www.episcopalchurch.org/3654 97164_ENG_HTM.htm

Remember that the more voices we have the more clearly our message will be heard. You are our best advocates in Washington. You are our best recruiters in your home towns and churches.
