We have a simple message: Our Bodies. Our Abortions. #BansOffOurBodies
Proud to be speaking at todays #BansOffOurBodies rally in DC to say loudly that Jews support abortion justice because of our religion and not in spite of it. ❤️
“Is your proximity to power more important than your proximity to justice?” Sonja Spoo @UltraViolet #BansOffOurBodies
“The only way we can truly have religious freedom is if every person can make their own decisions for their own bodies from their own traditions.”@SheilaKatz1 #BansOffOurBodies
🗣️Abortion is health care. #ReproductiveJustice is a religious freedom issue. Both intersect w/ voting rights. Remember that come midterm elections! We're attending the #BansOffOurBodies Rally because we're committed to advancing justice & protecting a woman's right to choose.✊🏾
Great to see a faith-focused tent at the #BansOffOurBodies rally. There are so many diverse religious traditions represented here today and united around the fight for abortion rights.
Jesus trusts women so should you! Just another Christian for Reproductive Rights.
We’re getting ready to join the #BansOffOurBodies rally and march to #SCOTUS! We can’t let far-right Christians define what the “Christian” view on abortion is, especially when most U.S. Christians do NOT want Roe v. Wade to be overturned!
Seeing the difference of types of protestors in the city is startling.

DCMPD @DMVBlackLives have blocked access to BLM plaza. Is there another place to support from outside the area?
This year in Greek, I learned that the word used for righteousness (δικαιοσύνη) can also be translated justice, and I've thought about it every day since.
Why am I against capital punishment? Since Christ died for the sin of all, the scandalous and the most beautiful fact is that nobody—absolutely nobody!—is beyond redemption. With capital punishment the state places itself between wrongdoers and God's grace given on the cross.
White supremacists are back in DC this weekend, and the Black Lives Matter banner has been taken from @LutherPlace again. As before - this isn't about the literal banner. It's about intimidation, violence, power. #DefendDC x.com/lutherplace/st…

One Kenosha church, whose sign was destroyed by fire amid unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, says, "We would rather lose 100 buildings than one more life to police violence." religionnews.com/2020/08/28/dam…
Got out of line to sit on the grass just outside the gated area. Don’t wait to get through the gates. #NANMOW2020 #MarchOnWashington2020
Line to get temp check to enter the viewing area snakes down from 17th to Lincoln back to 17th and back. Word from some park rangers is the south side entrance may have shorter lines. #MarchOnWashington2020 #NANMOW2020

Made my way near the White House to start what’s sure to be two days jam-packed with protests. Been a while since I’ve seen BLM Plaza bustling with activity like this. Hundreds of people, music blaring and the smell of incense in the air.
Hey DMV friends I keep hearing about a pre program at the #NANMOW2020 of local speakers and artists but can’t find any official listing. Anyone have any leads?

One practice I’ve used in no-hand shake situations is to put my hand over my heart and smile/nod at whomever I am greeting. (Shout out to our local NY14 faith communities for teaching me this!) What’s your favorite handshake greeting alternative?
Our prayers are with #Nashville who we had just spent 2 days with for our #FaithOverFear training. We know the power of interfaith connections will be felt in the days and weeks ahead as the community and surrounding area recovers. #PrayForNashville
If we can be a resource we’d love to talk. DM or email us. Our #FaithOverFear trainings and workshops support faith communities and leaders address anti-Muslim discrimination and violence within an anti-racist framework that recognizes how they intersect with anti-semitism.

I told white folks that we know they aren’t perfect and many of them responded “thanks for your grace” 🙃 Like no, for real. You seem to be the only person who thinks you stand a chance at perfection 😂😂😂 Its not grace; it’s fact. White supremacy is a trip, yo.
Yay!

There was a child who was no more than 2.5 yrs old who walked up the steps to my chair next to the pulpit. I asked “Do you want to sit with me?” She nodded. And there the preacher (me) and the young girl sat together bc in our congregation she knows girls belong at the pulpit.
On my way home after a full day. Some things I did OK. Some things I fumbled at. Some things I am still curious about. Maybe you, too, feel the fullness of life. I hope you can rest tonight knowing we did our best and we begin again tomorrow. It is a gift to be alive.
