The last several weeks in the gospel have been reminding us to seek justice, love kindness and walk humbly in the path that the divine is calling us to: to ‘resist evil, injustice and oppression’ and to remember that nothing changes unless we ACT on it.

For the past several weeks we have been talking about our baptismal vow to ‘resist evil, injustice and oppression’ and I have tried to share opportunities to show up and stand up for justice. Today I share another opportunity for us to join in an action to support the work of justice. The People’s Union invites us to join in a 24 hour Economic Blackout on Friday, February 28th (from midnight on Feb 27th till midnight on Feb 28th).

I am sharing only a section of the message that showed up in my inbox this morning from another Social Action organization that is part of the United Methodist Church, and takes action on issues of peace, poverty and people’s rights within the church and the world.
