"BUILD A TRADITION, not resting on one" LIPPTTDID!!! OW OW!!!

At some point, government executives (mayors, county executives, governors) will have to say, "No!" To the overreach and immoral actions of a tyrannical President. An immorally applied law is not law at all. No more ICE and National Guard in our streets.

ICYMI: Congress passed a budget that betrays our communities, and our values. In his latest op-ed @ddroyster.bsky.social, our executive director, calls this what it is: a sin. Read it, then join us in sharing it. thehill.com/opinion/cong... #FaithinAction #Organizing #Faith #BigUglyBill

This is an opinion piece I wrote that was published in "The Hill." Please feel free to share or comment.

"Make no mistake: This budget does not just 'cut costs.' It kills. "

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.

But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous. 

Courage is contagious.

Join us as we reimagine America into a place that embodies justice, equality, and respect for all. Let's explore how we can restore dignity, provide quality education and healthcare, and ensure a thriving community for everyone. Together, we can create a bright #changethedamnworld #faithinaction

Regardless of who leads, systemic issues like mass incarceration, immigration, climate change,and housing persist. We analyze how these challenges transcend political parties, highlighting the need for collective action and systemic change. #Architectsofanewamerica #faithinaction #changethedamnworld

Indeed!!!

If you can not watch the Presidential address tonight for your own sanity check out our recap tomorrow. @fianational.bsky.social

Housing ought to be a Human Right. Yet, with Trump/Musk cutting staff and programs at HUD we are further away from a decent home for everyone. Check out this resource to fight Trump/ Musk cuts to HUD.

Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we would’ve spent that $$: 🏈Bought 66,000 metric tons of crops from American farmers and shipped them overseas to feed 8 million people on the brink of famine youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid

Dear Clergy Colleagues,

This a fraught time when our freedom to practice our faith is challenged in doing missions work. Consider signing on to this letter about the attacks on Catholics and Lutherans whose missionary work is challenged by the government. act.faithinaction.org/a/religiousl...

Opinion | The Catholic Church Must Challenge Trump on Deportations Its voice has been largely absent in the national conversation.

"Catholics and people of faith across all traditions are standing up and taking action to protect our immigrant neighbors at risk of deportation." - @ddroyster.bsky.social, executive director of Faith in Action www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/o...

How do you blame a plane crash on DEI? The lies, the lies, the lies!!!!!

Hate has no home here. We can learn from the mistakes that we make.

Votes have consequences. I hope that those struggling in this moment push past partisan bickering and choose to partner with neighbors to fight this political and heinous scrouge that is upon us. We must fight together if we want to survive and get to a place of thriving.

Tomorrow Morning, someone who voted for Trump will not be able to buy milk for their children; tomorrow, someone will be unable to pay for their medicine; another will not be able to pay their rent at the end of the week.

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business.

If we do not change the samething will keep happening. The enemy will keep beating the hell out of us. Monday was a start it will get worse.

At what point do we stop looking at each other with suspicion and decide to work together? No one of our groups is big enough to win but ourselves. If we could, Trump would not be in office.

Immigrants Black and Brown, Black Folks in particular Black women on the chopping block, Queer Folx of all races and identities at risk, children coming under attack, poor folks at risk seniors and their healthcare at risk.
