EAD is a three-day train­ing event on jus­tice and polit­i­cal advo­cacy. It is an inter­ac­tive edu­ca­tional train­ing event that pre­pares peo­ple to go back into their com­mu­nity to be informed and active advo­cates for justice.

In this era of eco­nomic and polit­i­cal urgency, as crit­i­cal deci­sions are being made about U.S. fed­eral bud­get pri­or­i­ties and as national elec­tions are fast approach­ing, Ecu­meni­cal Advo­cacy Days (EAD) asks, “Is This the Fast I Seek?”

Come to the 10th annual EAD, March 23–26, 2012, in Wash­ing­ton, DC where we will explore econ­omy, liveli­hood, and our national pri­or­i­ties through the lens of Isa­iah 58. Join other Chris­tians in seek­ing a global econ­omy and a national bud­get that break the yokes of injus­tice, poverty, hunger, and unem­ploy­ment through­out the world—heeding Isaiah’s call to become “repair­ers of the breach and restor­ers of streets to live in.”

Speak­ers include Dr. Mar­garet Aymer, Dr. Gary Dor­rien, Ellen Nis­senbaum, and Con­gress­man Emmanuel Cleaver, II.
