OPPOSING THE ARKANSAS ADULT USE CANNABIS AMENDMENT: WE ORGANIZED A STATE-WIDE CAMPAIGN TO DEFEAT A PROPOSED STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO LEAGALIZE RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IN ARKANSAS. THIS CAMPAIGN CONSISTED OF HIRING ADDITIONAL STAFF, PURCHASING EQUIPMENT, AND CONDUCTING A STATE-WIDE TOUR OF ARKANSAS TO ORGANIZE CHURCH LEADERS AND HOST NEWS CONFERENCES. IN ADDITION, WE PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED CAMPAIGN FLYERS IN CHURCHES AND THROUGH THE MAIL AND PLACED CAMPAIGN ADS ON RADIO.

PROMOTING THE ARKANSAS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AMENDMENT: WE ORGANIZED A STATE-WIDE CAMPAIGN TO PASS A PROPOSED STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO EXPAND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN ARKANSAS. THIS CAMPAIGN CONSISTED OF ORGANIZING CHURCH LEADERS, PRODUCING CHURCH BULLETIN INSERTS, PRODUCING AND DISTRIBUTING VIDEOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND CONDUCTING NEWS CONFERENCES.

ENCOURAGING CHURCH INVOLVEMENT IN ISSUES: WE DEVELOPED A STATE-WIDE NETWORK OF PASTORS AND CHURCH LEADERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN ISSUES AND WHO ARE INTERESTED IN INFORMING THEIR CONGREGATIONS ABOUT CURRENT SOCIAL, MORAL, AND ECONOMIC ISSUES AFFECTING ARKANSANS.
