About this episode:
The Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy seeks to mobilize
individuals and congregations to serve positive social agendas, support the
most vulnerable communities and interests, and advocate for social justice
statewide. Faith-based social initiatives are known for emerging from altruism and
redressing moral wrongs with conviction and persistence. Among the current foci
of the Interfaith Center are healthcare access (with the VA Consumer Voices for
Healthcare), environmental conscientiousness (with VA Interfaith Power and
Light), and poverty attenuation in Virginia. The VA Interfaith Center works closely
with The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis (as well as sundry social
change and faith-based organizations) to shape public policy so that it
benefits the less-fortunate.
