DoRaleighNorth Carolina Faith Leaders Unite for Statewide Voter Engagement Kickoff Ahead of 2026 Election
Faith leaders, clergy members, and community organizations from across North Carolina are preparing to come together for a statewide Get Out The Vote (GOTV) kickoff call on June 15, 2026, at 7 p.m.
Organized by the NC Black Alliance, this virtual gathering will focus on civic engagement, community outreach, voter education, and increasing voter participation ahead of the 2026 General Election season.
The statewide call will bring together pastors, ministers, faith-based organizations, social action committees, and community advocates committed to empowering residents through education, service, and nonpartisan voter engagement efforts.
Building Stronger Communities Through Civic Participation
The June 15 kickoff aims to equip faith leaders and community organizers with tools and resources to help inform voters, encourage civic participation, and strengthen community engagement efforts throughout North Carolina.
Participants can expect discussions centered on:
- Voter education and outreach strategies
- Community engagement initiatives
- Nonpartisan voter participation efforts
- Building partnerships between faith communities and civic organizations
- Resources for educating and mobilizing local communities
Faith institutions have long played a vital role in civic engagement across North Carolina, helping connect residents with information, resources, and opportunities to participate in the democratic process.
Why This Matters
With the 2026 election season approaching, organizations across the state are increasing efforts to ensure residents are informed about voting opportunities and civic participation. Events like this statewide kickoff help create collaboration between faith leaders and community organizations working toward greater voter engagement and public participation.
The NC Black Alliance continues to support initiatives that encourage civic involvement, community empowerment, and educational outreach throughout North Carolina.

Tech companies increasingly seek faith leaders' guidance on artificial intelligence
Tech companies are increasingly seeking guidance from faith leaders to shape artificial intelligence. Last week, the inaugural “Faith-AI Covenant” roundtable took place in New York, organized by the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities. The goal is to create a set of norms informed by various faiths. Baroness Joanna Shields, a key partner, emphasized the importance of this dialogue. However, some critics argue this approach may distract from broader AI issues. While companies like Anthropic actively engage with faith leaders, skeptics question the sincerity and effectiveness of these efforts in addressing AI ethics.
