Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

Faith communities can meet this moment by providing for material needs in their communities and turning networks of support into networks to build power. @Shaillybarnes.bsky.social of @Kairoscenter.org provides ways to take action: protectdemocracy.org/work/the-fai...

“Rethink church” in these times
Use the resources that faith organizations and congregations have at hand – from physical space, means of transportation, staff and volunteers, as well as legal status and social legitimacy – to encourage new forms of building religious community.

Controlling people’s bodies is an age-old means of maintaining power, wealth and social position that requires “othering” categories of people in order to isolate and marginalize them. We are here to declare, #transgender and #nonbinary people are created in the image of God.

Trump 2.0's scapegoating of trans people is a Christian nationalist distraction

Some Republican lawmakers are considering harmful cuts & policy changes to #SNAP this year. But these proposals wouldn’t only harm low-income people who need SNAP to afford groceries. They could also weaken SNAP’s effectiveness in supporting jobs & the broader economy. 🧵

Our Policy Director, @shaillybarnes.bsky.social, shares some key facts from Oxfam International’s 2025 global inequality report, “Takers Not Makers.” Every act we take—for and with each other—is an act of protest against a system that prioritizes billionaires. *Original Artwork by Josh Yoder

I love this. We need so much more of exactly this to ground, inspire and keep us connected, even when we aren’t together in the same space. Music can change the very air around us.
