Other concerns:
- the crisis at the U.S. southern border: for asylum seekers (especially children) in detention camps, those tasked with their care, the volunteers who are trying to help, and our lawmakers to better manage and address the situation
- for people affected by earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters
- for an end to mass shootings and gun violence
- for a stop to police brutality and a changing of hearts within the law enforcement community
- for people facing the challenges of returning to the community after incarceration
- for people in fear of ICE raids — immigrants, whether undocumented or legal, and Americans unfairly profiled as suspicious
- for people in our community living on the edge, dealing with extreme poverty, housing insecurity, and hunger — federal school lunch program/SNAP cuts
- churches that are still preaching hate
