What is a “Network Member”?

Network members are individuals tasked with helping us fill our Nehemiah Action Assemblies with people who are interested in doing justice in Sedgwick County by urging local officials to take action on our research-backed solutions. Each person is affliated with one of our 40+ faith communities, either by being a member of those congregations or being invited into the network by someone in one of those congregations.

Network members have a few responsibilities throughout our yearly cycle to ensure success:

  1. PARTICIPATE IN YOUR CONGREGATION’S LISTENING SESSIONS in the fall to voice your concerns about our local community.
  2. ATTEND 4 EVENTS THROUGHOUT OUR YEARLY CYCLE:
    • Community Problems Assembly – Vote on the issues that will be the focus for the year.
    • Solutions Rally – Hear research-backed solutions that will be brought to local officials.
    • Nehemiah Action Assembly – Attend our most important event: we present the issues and solutions to our city & county officials in front of an assembly of thousands to show justice is our priority.
    • Justice Ministry Celebration – Celebrate and give thanks for the year’s achievements.
  3. INVITE 9 PEOPLE TO THE NEHEMIAH ACTION ASSEMBLY IN THE SPRING.
    • We ask that you invite 9 people so that you get 6 “confirmations”, and 3 people to actually attend the event with you!
  4. INVEST IN JUSTICE TOGETHER (optional) – Donate $200 (or any amount you are able) each year to help support this non-profit organization.

What is a “Team Lead”?

Team leads are representatives of their congregation who organize their local network members. Team members attend the same events and have the same responsibilities as the network members, plus occasional additional meetings with other team members and our main organizers. This schedule of meetings is set and communicated at the beginning of each yearly cycle.

Team Lead Additional Responsibilities Throughout the Year

  1. ORGANIZE PERSONAL NETWORK MEMBERS.
  2. SHARE INFORMATION received directly from Justice Together’s organizers with each network member in your congregation.
  3. REMIND MEMBERS of upcoming events.
  4. CHECK IN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR about the status of network members’ invitees to the Nehemiah Action Assembly.
