NAIC - Northern Arizona Interfaith Council

Living Christ is an active participant in the work of Northern Arizona Interfaith Council (NAIC), a non-partisan community organizing group. In partnership with other churches, faith-based groups, and local businesses, we currently organize and advocate around the issues of education, housing, immigration, and COVID-19. We also seek to collaborate with local, state, and federal elected officials on these issues and hold them accountable through public accountability sessions, which are open to the public.

NAIC is having their annual Accountability Session on Thursday, September 17th at 6:30 p.m. by Zoom. Our Service and Justice Team and the Lack of Housing Options (LOHO) sub-team are deeply involved with this event. It will give those attending an opportunity to see the candidates and hear their positions concerning immigration, education and housing. If interested contact Vic Page (pageatdb@aol.com) to RSVP and get on the Zoom invite list.
