Join clergy, faith leaders and people of moral conscience in a powerful stand of prayer and moral resistance against injustice, corruption and oppression. Every first Wednesday of the month, we’ll gather in D.C. to examine the impacts of policy violence on the most vulnerable communities.
As you prepare to join us for Moral Witness Wednesday on April 2, 2025, at 11 am Eastern, understand that your presence embodies a powerful response to our nation’s urgent moral crisis. We gather as clergy, faith leaders, and people of conscience, guided by our shared spiritual traditions and sacred texts, to resist injustices harming the most vulnerable among us. The Prophet Micah challenges each generation, asking profoundly, “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8). This call is our clarion imperative today.
In a moment when systemic racism, economic oppression, xenophobia, and attacks on human dignity are institutionalized in policy and practice, our moral witness is not only necessary—it is sacred. Our Wednesdays represent acts of public theology, truth-telling, and prophetic resistance, grounded in our understanding of scripture, the rich heritage of liberation and womanist theology, and the lived experiences of communities enduring injustice. As you sign up, you affirm your commitment to stand courageously, collectively voicing an unequivocal “No!” to hatred, oppression, and corruption and a determined “Yes!” to justice, love, and the sacred dignity of all humanity.
Thank you for answering this call and joining the ranks of prophetic voices nationwide who declare boldly, “We will not be silent anymore.”
