As the Eastern Washington organizer with Faith Action Network (FAN) of Washington since May 2023, Brianna Dilts is attending worship services and meetings at many of the region's faith communities to build relationships based on shared values and inform people how they can be involved in influencing policy.
She started with FAN quarter-time in 2023 while completing full-time work with Transitions through AmeriCorps Vista.
Brianna remembers being concerned at a young age when the church she attended closed its food pantry, its only outlet for helping neighbors.
"What does it say about our faith if what we are committed to do as a faith community does not line up with our beliefs?" . . . . . .
