Dear Friends,
On Tuesday morning Becky Koskinen, Phil Skeldon, Mark Dubielak, and I will be driving out to Washington D.C. to meet with a few congressional reps, as well as dropping in to see our senators. During that time, we will also be delivering letters the Trinity Response Team wrote expressing frustration with the current administration and asking for support.
This trip will include a meeting with members of the Office of Government Relations. With the advocacy work Trinity members have been working on, we feel it is important to start a relationship with them and those who work in the Episcopal Public Policy Network. This visit that the four of us are taking on behalf of Trinity is hopefully the first of many. Please keep us in your prayers as we drive to and from our nation’s capital and for the conversations we will have during our time there.
If you are feeling compelled to write a letter for us to take to our congressional reps, please feel free to bring it on Sunday. I will be happy to add it to the pile and look forward to letting you all know how it goes!
Grace and peace,
George Benson
