BOLD JUSTICE
BOLD Justice (Broward Organized Leaders Doing Justice) is an organization formed in 2007 by a group of churches and synagogues (All Saints is a founding member) to address issues that are occurring in Broward County. Members of the various faith communities meet to discuss what Broward County issues they would like to see addressed, and, pulling together members from these faith communities, meet with county officials to find ways to do something about these issues. The 2007-2008 issues addressed by BOLD Justice were Affordable Housing and Affordable Dental Care. "JOB Creation" is the action item for 2009 in a partnership with the government, higher education and the private sector. More info here.
