"We are





here on our moral, our religious and our constitutional authority.
We demand that all refuges seeking asylum be granted due process.
We demand equal protection under the law.
We demand the preservation of human rights.
We demand a termination of the "Remain in Mexico" program.
We demand an end to family separation.
And we demand an end to the militarization of our border,
and we demand an end to the evil and the injustice and the inhumanity
that we are seeing take place on our border in our name.

No longer will it happen with our silence.

We see all of this connected.
the same forces that are caging mothers and fathers and children and making people drink out of toilets.
And we heard testimony last night of children pulling out shoestrings, 
thinking about killing themselves because of the pressure.

The same forces that are doing that are suppressing the vote in this country.
The same forces are denying living wages and denying health care
and denying ecological justice.
The same forces are pushing a faulty theological position that says as long as you're against gay people against woman, and for guns and for prayer in the school and for tax cuts, that is a godly way.
The same people against people here, are pushing a war economy.
We see all of these interlocking injustices, and we are raising a moral, inter-sectional fusion movement against it.
All of us, every color, every race, every creed, every sexuality-we are very clear.


"forces are pushing a faulty theological position"


You want your end times false church?
You want your whore of Babylon?
This guy nails it.
Absolutely nails it.

I always liked him.
We need more people like him.

The Moral Majority was neither and the Religious Right is just flat out wrong
about so many issues.
Just flat out wrong.

You can not support taking children away from their parents with scripture.
You can't support how these asylum seekers are being treated with scripture.
You just can't.

If your not condemning it?
You're endorsing and enabling it.

This notion?
That you can't be a liberal and be a Christian?
Just not supported with scripture.
It's just not.
