100 Days of Prophetic Action
ISAIAH is committing to 100 Days of Prophetic Action to resist and to people and our communities. Each
rising day you will decide what action(s) to take as we collectively live out our faith. Some actions will be
at the individual level, while others will be congregational, regional or ISAIAH wide.
Together, 150,000 actions - both big and small - will create a faith-led movement fighting for dignity,
humanity and love. This will be a dynamic, ongoing 100 Days, where we are equipped to respond to
what unfolds at the local, regional, and national level.
Join our Facebook event page for regular updates and to report your progress daily. This page is
designed and owned by all of us – shaping our ability to act and harnessing our collective strength and
courage. We will also be communicating through email and your organizer can help you work on your
plan for the 100 Days.
