The privileging of White perspectives and power w/in American Christianity has been documented by @AntheaButler, @robertpjones, @kkdumez, & others. Violent threats arose when one local church tried to prioritize other voices during Lent. #cancelculture

We won’t celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day without demanding legislation to protect the #MLKLegacy.

We're calling on Congress to protect our freedom to vote! #wewantvotingrights

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

History has never been kind to those who have sided with voter suppression over voting rights. And it will not be kind to those who fail to defend the right to vote.

Congress must debate and vote on the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

“For those living in harmony with these lands, the losses are permanent and incalculable, and cannot be righted by a fine. This is why water protectors and thousands of activists peacefully protested, enduring tear gas, police harassment…” — @ClimateNexus https://t.co/NKHykPLbuO

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.

What if anti-poverty programs addressed structural injustice rather than the behaviors of poor people? https://t.co/CobD4OJnMt

LGBTQ UU's and people everywhere face discrimination and still need ministry and advocacy specific to their identities. We encourage you to reignite your congregation’s work of welcome & inclusion by making a commitment to renew your recognition.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Thompson v. Clark, a case that has major implications for police accountability and racial justice. The @AntiracismCtr partnered with @BULawDean to submit an amicus brief in this case. 1/8

It is impossible to exaggerate the magnitude of the human injustice perpetrated against Indigenous people. We must continue to open ourselves to a transformation that seeks to redress past wrongs and address injustices.
