We Are Everywhere.



We are Muslim.
We are refugees.
We are undocumented.
We are Black, and brown, and red, and yellow, and white.
We are queer.
We are hungry.
We are imprisoned because of our race.
We are experiencing homelessness.
We are victims of gun violence.
We are unemployed, or overworked.
We are victims of domestic violence.
We are victims of rape and sexual assault.
We are mothers left to raise children without support.
We are trying for a better life.
We are searching for God in the rubble.
We are Jesus.

Are you one of us?  Will you stand with us?

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— 
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— 
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Pastor Martin Niemoller
