It’s time for another round of social justice work to improve our communities through the work of FAST. This organization — Faith and Action for Strength Together — comprises more than 40 faith communities in Pinellas County that identify significant problems, work to develop solutions, and gain support of government officials. House meetings are a crucial part of the listening process. This is an opportunity for you to share issues and concerns. The data from the Cathedral’s house meetings, along with hundreds of others across the county, are compiled. That information is used to see which justice issues rise to the top that we may choose to tackle for the upcoming year.

Last year, you may recall, our top priorities were affordable housing, the creation of an adult diversion program for non-dangerous driving offenses, and the creation of green infrastructure to improve water quality.

During House meetings, you will also learn more about what it means to become a Justice Network member with FAST. The meetings last about 90 minutes and follow a streamlined script to keep the conversation moving. Lunch (subs, chips, drinks) will be available for $5. Childcare is available upon request.
