2020 has been rough -- but light isn't just shining in the darkness, it's blazing. From DACA to LGBTQ stories to the Movement for Black Lives, the communities most affected by injustice are turning their pain into courageous and effective leadership.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court decided that Trump's attempts to rescind DACA and deport immigrant youth were cruel and arbitrary. On Monday, the Court ruled that employers cannot fire LGBTQ workers for who they are or who they love. These two decisions follow weeks of local victories for police reform thanks to Black Lives Matter.
Trump can still try to end DACA by following a different legal procedure -- but Congress can stop him. The House has already passed a permanent pathway to citizenship for undocumented youth via H.R. 6, while the Senate sits on its hands. They need to hear from us.
The religious right keeps propping up Trump's white supremacy, and even says Brett Kavanaugh, who voted against both decisions, is his biggest victory. Speak up to take back the Gospel for justice, and show lawmakers that the right-wing doesn't speak for you!
