Jesus is alongside us, a partner in fighting for a better world. Jesus is relational, Jesus is radical. “Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother/And in His name, all oppression shall cease”. May we follow his example in our own work.
On Monday night there was a council meeting to introduce a ceasefire proposal for the city of Indianapolis. A member took a vote to completely remove it off the agenda for the 5th month in a row, completely ignoring the crowd that gathered for the event and even threatening the audience into silence.
In the troubling times the US is going through, I ask for your time to reflect on our next steps in search of a more egalitarian society under the Trump administration. Hopefully, our community will be able to continue fighting for change through our mobilization and unification. I ask you to engage, study, learn, and teach politics as your civic duty: not because it’s fun, not because we like it, but because we care.
