FaithActs for Education

06/09/2026

This weekend, FaithActs joined in Bridgeport, CT to empower girls ages 9 to 18 to make their voices heard. 💕

, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Bridgeport that provides access to mentoring programs for underserved girls ages 9 to 18, empowering them to lead locally and globally. We were honored to stand alongside them.

Together with fellow community partners and mentors, we talked with the girls directly about why voting matters and how to be heard at any age. Girls and their parents stopped by our FaithActs table to share what they want their next Governor to do, what they hope candidates will care about, and even the questions they’d ask those running for office. 🗳️

We left just as inspired as they did, having spent the day watching them simply be girls. These young ladies are poised, ready, and the next generation of leaders, and we’ll be supporting them every step of the way.

Join us as we come together to pray over our children, cover our families, and ask God to continue to protect our rights in our Monthly Prayer Call.

You were never meant to pray alone, and neither were your children.

Summer is at the door. As the school year ends, let’s come together and cover our children in prayer — and lift our voices against every force working to silence them at the ballot box. Join us for our monthly Prayer Call with Bishop John Diamond, Pastor Gabrielle Beam, and Pastor William McCullough.

This is a moment to declare protection, peace, and purpose over every child as they step into a new season — and to stand in faith against the attacks on our voting rights that threaten the future we’re building for them. Come expectant, come believing, and come ready to pray.

This honor belongs to all of us.

Last night, FaithActs received the NAACP Social Impact Award, and our own Bishop Danny Bland was named the 2026 NAACP Religious Leader. Every prayer, every late night, every act of organizing carried us here.

We’re pausing to celebrate. Then we’re getting right back to work.

Today, we launch POWER: To the People, our 2026 FaithVotes campaign. Because real social impact isn’t an award. It’s organized, informed, mobilized people showing up.

POWER is ours. It always has been. Now we use it.

Join us the movement. Commit to vote today at faithacts.org/vote. We need you with us as we head to the polls.

FaithActs celebrates the life of Sharon Mary Smith, a woman who showed up for this work with her whole heart. When Connecticut’s children needed advocates, Sharon answered the call, giving her time, her voice, and her spirit to the mission of education equity.

A devoted mother, lifelong servant, and quiet force, Sharon raised two pillars of our FaithActs family: Member Manager Tanya Smith-Long and Clergy Organizer Bishop Danny Bland. Her investment in this work was personal, and we see her in both of them every day.

We celebrate her life, honor her legacy, and surround her family with all of our love. 🕊️

Happy Birthday to the woman who turned faith into action and action into change. Jamilah Prince-Stewart, our founding CEO, has spent her life opening doors for Connecticut’s children and building the kind of power that lasts. Today, we celebrate the leader, the advocate, the New Haven daughter, and the visionary who makes it all possible. From every corner of the FaithActs family, we are so grateful for you. May this year be as abundant as the legacy you are building.

Happy Birthday, Jamilah. 🎂
