Mountains break into cries of joy on the way to liberation, not after it's safely over.

Yes, there is a place for seriousness. And also, the work of justice-making and liberation requires joy all along the way."

"That's just the way things are."

We've heard it. Maybe even said it ourselves.

But then the earth begins to shake. The stone rolls away.

And Easter comes to interrupt that lie.

Because if death is not final, then what is?

Our faith calls us to challenge systemic oppression, and Juniper Formation urges you to take action in support of our imm!grant neighbors.

What do we do when we are being told that protesting violence is the same as the violence itself? Or that blowing whistles is a threat?

Last week, nine of us gathered, clergy and ministers from UCC, ELCA, UMC, and Mennonite traditions, at the Colorado Springs City Council meeting. We shared testimonies in support of the MLK Day declaration, asking the Mayor and City Council to protect the constitutional rights of all residents from federal overreach.

The truth is, there is never a 'right' time and place to speak truth to the powerful. They will never want to hear it. But we are called to speak anyway. We are called to use our voices and whistles and words to make a ruckus in the streets, in the halls of power, on the internet, wherever injustice is happening.
Because the powerful listen to disruption. They listen to lost revenue. They listen to the upsetting of the status quo.

Each of our actions has the potential to create other actions and possibility. We must act. We must be brave. We must work in community. We must have moral clarity.
