NEW YORK — Following the 2026 midterm elections, United Women in Faith issued the following statement, which may be attributed to General Secretary and CEO Sally Vonner:

“As United Women in Faith, we remind our sisters and neighbors that our work does not begin or end with any election. We have been and continue to be committed to racial justice, climate justice, human rights and the improvement of the lives of women, children, and youth.

“We are proud to see the strength of our democracy in action. We know that threats to voting rights and true democracy persist, particularly for marginalized communities. We remain vigilant and work so that our democracy may continue to grow to support all, regardless of race, religion, citizenship status, sexual orientation, gender identity and socio-economic status.

“This work does not change because of who is in office; it does not placate us, nor does it discourage us. With our faith driving us, we will channel the determination of our foremothers and re-commit ourselves to the perpetual push for justice with renewed energy.

“We invite our members and the public to join us in our Micah 6:8 pledge. Through each election cycle the call of our faith endures. We anchor ourselves in the call to remember what the Lord requires of us: ‘to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with the Lord your God.’

“Our pursuit of policies that advance justice and equity continues. We remain engaged in political processes to support policies that see, value and protect women, children and youth, and we call on our members to do the same.

“Let us commit to taking care of one another. Let us commit to be in prayer, with bowed heads and through our actions, that those in power prioritize the greater good. United Women in Faith will continue to work for a safe and whole world in which all can know God’s freedom and love.”
