It’s Black History Month, and some churches are doing what they normally would do during a hot political season like this. They welcome candidates into their churches for a nonpartisan opportunity for would-be voters to get a better sense of who the candidates are and what they say they stand for.
One such church that historically has encouraged political engagement, political education, and information and voter registration are Mount Carmel Baptist Church. That’s just what they do at Mount Carmel.
This political season, Mount Carmel Baptist Church Civic and Community Engagement Ministry (CACE) and The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. – Pennsylvania Chapter (NC100BW-PA) are partnering to host a Democratic Mayoral Candidates Forum Saturday, February 18, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The forum will take place at the Mount Carmel located at 5732 Race Street, Philadelphia, PA., in the sanctuary. The Forum will be live-streamed on both organizations’ social media platforms.
