Faith and Action for Strength Together (FAST) Details
Faith and Action for Strength Together (FAST) is an organization made up of 41 diverse religious congregations throughout Pinellas County who band together to create positive change in our community. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit whose purpose is to train residents from diverse congregations to work together to identify root causes of community problems and take action on these problems. Through FAST, diverse people come together to powerfully address the needs in their own communities.Our congregations differ in how we worship and what faith traditions we have, but we all share a commitment to pursue justice. Our strength is in our unity. We use a four-step process to do justice in our community:1. We listen to our congregation members through one-on-one meetings and house meetings that surface what injustices our members are experiencing in the community. Our congregations then vote on what issues we want to work on for the year. 2. We research the problems to identify workable solutions.3. We gather a large number of people once a year at our Nehemiah Assembly to show our power and negotiate solutions with our public officials.4. We follow through on public commitments in order to ensure that there is action to address the problem.
