OUR all-volunteer Leadership Circle (steering committee) after much discussion and at the suggestion of our Social Action Leader, Sharron Howard, has chosen to support Second Chance Last Opportunity. Because we missed the deadline for their TOY DRIVE, WIN sent them a monetary donation.

Cincinnati Festival of Faiths
Under the 2021 theme of "Compassion through Action: We are in it Together," planning is underway for EquaSion's signature event, the Cincinnati Festival of Faiths, our community's most inclusive gathering of faith traditions. After a very successful "festival week" this past August that offered 16 virtual events and attracted more than a thousand attendees, dates have already been set for this year - August 22-29. The festival's purposes are to showcare our community's rich diversity of religions, recognize religion's contributions to our quality of life, promote interfaith understanding and collaboration, and organize and unify our numerous faiths into a moral force for social change.
