Unlike lobbyists for business, who have been known to tempt lawmakers with campaign contributions, free lunches, and junkets, the SALT network inundates legislators with fact sheets and position papers designed to frame and issue in a moral context.
Social Action Linking Together (SALT) is a network of persons in Virginia embracing the principle that “The justice of a society can be measured by how the most vulnerable members of that society are faring and being treated.” This principle can be found in all the great religious traditions and inspires SALT members to propose and shape fair public social policies through our education of policy makers & our advocacy for the poor and powerless.
