This week, Kim Bobo, executive director of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, joins to discuss the 2024 legislative agenda and how the 42-year-old organization continues to grow and expand its base across the Commonwealth. Bobo, a faith-based advocate who started her career working to build solidarity for workers’ rights in Chicago in the 1980s, talks about how the network is adapting to create space for unaffiliated young people and those training in Virginia seminaries. From avoiding controversial and divisive issues to creating new online social engagement strategies, Bobo is committed to building political power and amplifying the voice of faith-based communities that go beyond the usual suspects.
Kim Bobo: Nationally known promoter of social justice who leads VICPP’s advocacy, outreach, and development work. She also founded and served as executive director of Interfaith Worker Justice, the nation’s largest network of people of faith engaging in local and national actions to improve wages, benefits, and conditions for workers. |
