Standing for Justice at "No Kings" Rally
It was wonderful to be a part of a church community taking a stand for justice and working to preserve our republic at the rally on Saturday with 7 million others across the nation). We had at least a dozen of us at S. Broadway and Littleton Blvd, there were others on Sante Fe, Rob sent us some pictures from Arvada and a 9 News downtown photo, and we keep hearing from more of you who attended in a variety of metro locations. Send additional pictures and we will add them in!
Thanks to all of our postcard writers.
A number of us are preparing to send postcards to Virginia as part of the "Postcards to Swing States" effort; and many of us are sending postcards to our representatives in Washington as part of the "Majority Project." Check out these links to learn more and to join the effort:
“The Declaration by People of Faith
in Support of the Lives and Rights of Immigrants”
This declaration was presented by faith leaders on the steps of the state capitol Oct. 16th. It affirms: “We stand with our immigrant neighbors; we reject demonization; and we commit to nonviolent action for dignity, justice, and humane treatment.” To read the Declaration, click here. To sign the Declaration, click here. It is not too late to sign this declaration. The Justice Team was represented by Dave and Tony at this event.
We had fun, and built connections, at Longer Tables Littleton.

This I Believe: Good Trouble Lives On . . .
We joined the national call to action on Thursday, July 17, at S. Sante Fe Dr. and W. Bowles. Thanks to Karen, Brian, Angela, Harriet, Kim, Mary, and Tony for representing our team. (Who did I miss? Rob were you there? :)) Check the seven pictures below. We only had rain and wind for a short time. The car horns of support were appreciated! We will keep standing up for justice!
Justice Team at “No Kings” Rally
Our Justice Team at LUMC was represented well at the No KIngs Rally on June 14th. There were 17 of us either directly or indirectly associated with LUMC in attendance, joining with around 1500 other protesters at Sante Fe and Bowles. This was one of more than 50 protests in Colorado, some formally organzed and others more informal "pop-up" protests, and approximately 2000 protests nationwide. It is wonderful to be a part of a team of people who are engaged, passionate, and informed - people who care about our neighbors and those who are suffering, and who are determned to turn our faith into action!
