There is a lot of attention this week on the olive harvest currently taking place in the West Bank - especially on international solidarity activists who are being detained by the Israeli military for joining in on this Palestinian tradition and attempting to deter settler violence with their presence. We want to bring some of the focus back to where it belongs - on the people who have been working this land for generations and who are being systematically blocked from engaging in an important cultural tradition that is also a key factor in the local economy. Uprooting entire olive groves is a strategy used by the occupation for decades to disrupt Palestinian cultural and economic life - turning a symbol of peace into a site of violence and oppression.

Yesterday, a UU solidarity delegation that includes Peggy Clarke, Meagan Henry, and Zachary Stevens-Walter refused to give in to threats of terrorism at the hands of Israeli settlers and military and had the opportunity to share in the indefatigable joy of the harvest and the connection it represents to this land.

Police violence is surging under Christian nationalist control, and the Bible is being weaponized to justify ICE raids, concentration camps, kidnapping and killings. None of this is new. Conor's book, The Bible and Police Violence in the United States, explains how the Bible has shaped the history of U.S. policing and brings us to the present, offering an analysis of a deadly and dangerous moment, and offering an abolitionist counter-reading of the Bible as a means of undermining fascist moral and theological claims.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” - Ursula K. Le Guin

Now is the time to support the People's Forum!

Since April 2025, Trump allies in Congress and the Senate have singled out our friends at the People’s Forum for political and legal attacks, citing their mobilization against the war with Iran, the genocide in Gaza, ICE kidnappings and killings, and the blockade on Cuba as evidence of "left-wing terrorism."

In July, the House Ways and Means Committee subpoenaed their internal communications, records, and finances. The People's Forum is fighting back against this attack on their (and our) First Amendment rights - but this month, the Committee is escalating their attacks and continuing their crusade to shut down this important movement and organizing hub.

This is a test for all of us. We refuse to let this challenge to our rights to political speech and freedom of expression go unmet. We stand by the People's Forum and hope you will, too. You can donate to their fundraising efforts alongside the Community Church of New York at ccny.org/tpf or visit peoplesforum.org.

On Indigenous Peoples Day and all days, we reject the worldview of disposability and extraction. We own the responsibility that comes with the legacies we inherit, legacies of domination and cleansing. At Community Church, we are in the process of deep learning around reparations and how we can build equitable systems that center the Black and Indigenous communities that have been disproportionately targeted so many historic and continuing injustices.
