Hope is not just a feeling. It is a decision.

On August 29, choose to show up. Choose community. Choose action.

The Rally of Hope is more than an event. It is a moment for people from all backgrounds, generations, faiths, and perspectives to come together around a shared commitment to protecting civic participation and strengthening our democracy.

Join FFD as we hear a special letter of support and encouragement from Senator Dr. Rev. Raphael Warnock, read by Dr. Rev. James Givens, and come together to:

• Unite our community across differences
• Learn practical steps to defend democratic participation
• Encourage voter registration and civic engagement ahead of upcoming elections
• Turn hope into meaningful action rooted in purpose, not anger

Whether you join us in person or through the livestream, your voice matters. Your presence matters. Together, we can stand for a stronger future.
