Thank you for your bravery in this moment and for coming up with this great idea to help protect our most vulnerable citizens!

Bishop Barber and Rev. Wilson-Hartgrove—thank you for naming the moral test clearly. We can do both things at once: condemn political violence without qualification and refuse the lies that license more harm. “Stop lying” isn’t a slogan; it’s a peace strategy. Truth-telling is how we de-escalate.

Your call to let our little lights shine lands. The Liberty Vans model is the kind of nonviolent truth-force we need: chaplains, veterans, lawyers, and neighbors documenting raids, reminding officials of lawful orders, and ensuring people know their rights. Please share a simple “replicate this” kit so communities beyond L.A. can stand up quickly.

We’re also doing our part—spreading the word through story and song. Our latest anthems:

The moral awakening of American government is to finish what we started almost 250 years ago with the Declaration of Independence.

We made good progress in the Summer of 1787, in Philadelphia.

We had another good run at it between 1865 and 1870.

But we lost control of our government before we could meaningfully reconcile the manifestation of American government with the fundamental principles of the Declaration of Independence as incorporated into the Constitution.

It's time we finish what we started.

Thank you for all you do! We, in Charlottesville, are following your lead. Is the event on Friday 630pm Eastern or Pacific?

The same statement was told Senator Kelly. This is a right vs wrong moment for everyone's morality. 🕯
