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.

Though we were arrested and carried away, we have not stopped praying. Moral Monday is back at the Capitol today. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

At 4pm ET today, Bishop William J. Barber, II & I will be live on Substack with a high school senior who was arrested outside Delaney Hall this week. Join us to hear what she learned about conditions inside this concentration camp & why she decided she had to stand in solidarity with them.

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

Grateful for Pastor Erich & all who are leading a nonviolent resistance to the illegal concentration camp at Delaney Hall. Don’t let the street fight distract from the cries of the community: we cannot accept a regime that kidnaps neighbors & holds them without due process in inhumane conditions.

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.

“Our universe is not a despotic monarchy, with God above the starry canopy and ourselves down here; it is a spiritual commonwealth with God in the midst of us.” - Walter Rauschenbusch

Abuses of power abound, but I’m so glad to be part of a community that pauses every Sunday to worship a freedom fighter who was executed by authoritarians but still overcame the worst this world offers thru the power of love. To say Jesus is Lord is to promise we’ll never bow to a would-be king.
