When Jesus said “the kingdom of God is at hand,” he meant that no one has to bow to this world’s want-to-be kings. We don’t have to cooperate with evil. We can treat one another like children of God & experience the beloved community here & now.

If you are concerned by the Trump regime’s attempt to turn LA into a police state so ICE can raid a Home Depot, please note: Every US Senator will soon vote on HR1, a tax & spending bill that would increase funding for ICE removal actions by 500% & put 10k more masked agents on US streets.

After more than three months, Congress has finally moved to check Trump’s illegal and immoral war against Iran.

To honor the spirit of the first Decoration Day, we are releasing this video of a testimony from a veteran who shared at a Moral Monday outside Sen. Thom Tillis’ office this spring. Recalling the death of a fellow solider in Vietnam, he said, “It is for you that I work to end all war.”

Mike Johnson does not have the votes to keep Trump’s illegal war going, so he sent members of Congress home early for the Memorial Day weekend. Honor those who’ve died in battle this weekend by telling your member of Congress to stop funding Trump’s illegal and immoral war.
