Congratulations to our Liberation Gathering/ Beloved Community Honorees !
SCLC- SC Liberation gatherings actively honor community members who keep neighborhoods balanced, whole, and thriving despite ongoing challenges and systemic injustice. These intentional spaces reject damage-based narratives, focusing instead on joy, collective healing, mutual aid, and prefiguring a fair, just future.

Not my opponent sitting behind me at my job. How does he have time to come to the TN State House amidst the national crises we are facing? DC is in shambles. The president needs to be impeached and the 25th amendment needs to be invoked but he is here shaking hands and greeting Republicans. Is this a part of a farewell tour? It’s time for New Leadership, New Energy, and a New Direction for District 9!

Psalm 146:9-10

9 The Lord protects the resident alien,
comes to the aid of the orphan and the widow,
but thwarts the way of the wicked.
10 The Lord shall reign forever,
your God, Zion, through all generations!
Hallelujah!

Leviticus 19:33-4 3 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.

My father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., warned us that we will not remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

What is unfolding in our immigration system today demands moral clarity and a courageous voice. Policies and practices that dehumanize immigrants, separate families, and deny due process fracture our shared humanity and move us farther from the just and compassionate society we are called to create.

Creating the Beloved Community requires that we speak, act, and refuse indifference when human dignity is under threat. Love must be active. Justice must be demanded. Conscience must guide how we respond to what is happening now in our shared World House.

Say his name. Keith Porter, Jr.
Killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Years Eve.
This was in Los Angekes, California which like Mississippi also swelters with the heat of injustice and oppression.
