Associated Ministries would like to thank the people of faith that braved the cold and rain and draw a circle of protection around programs that affect the most marginalized in our communities. 42 people in Tacoma joined the nationwide effort and over 150 religious leaders and people of faith signed a letter to Super-Committee Co-Chair, Senator Patty Murray. As the Super-Committee was unable to reach an agreement this week and budget cuts will be felt across the board for programs and service, people of faith continue to have an obligation to help the most vulnerable be heard. We know from our experience in serving hungry and homeless people that these programs meet basic human needs, protect lives, and the dignity of the most vulnerable.
