I got a text message from my dear sister in January, asking me to join a very important call to think about how
to sustain our movement against the culture of violence and inhumanity that the
current administration wears as its emblem and boots. She felt an urgent need
for us to dig deep into our ancestral traditions to harness a force
transcending divisions, especially because the current administration is
determined to use religion as an incendiary threat, sparking fear, and informing travel, immigration, policing, and
foreign policy. We must fight this.
That call became a national #blacklivesmatter interfaith
action for #sacredresistance.
We've been in deep conversation to hold space and welcome people of all faiths,
religions, and spiritual practices, as well as those who do not claim a
particular faith but are still deeply rooted in the practice of social justice
and human rights rooted in love. Join us on April 1st for #sacredresistance at
Malcom X Park/Meridian Hill Park at 11am for drumming, song, meditation,
poetry, prayer, dance, and resistance. Satellite actions in your city. And, for
those able to begin our vigil through fasting and/or meditation, we will start
as early as midnight that day. Location for midnight gathering TBA. More
details at www.sacredresist.org See
you on the 1st! #chantdownbabylon #sacredresist #blacklivesmatter
