an initiative of
Faiths United to Save Democracy
(FUSD) is a nonpartisan, multi-racial, multi-faith, and multi-generation 2022-2024 voter protection campaign focused in the states of AL. AZ. FL. GA. MI. NC. OH. PA. TX. WI. It is rooted in the belief that everyone is made in the image of God and deserves the freedom to vote.
The FUSD campaign exists to overcome the recent assault on democracy, making it more difficult for voters who are low-income, black and brown, elderly, students, and disabled to exercise their sacred right to vote. The 2024 election will be a test of our democracy and our faith. Early planning and even more robust strategic engagement by the faith community is critical.
