A few months ago, millions of us took to the streets in one of the largest protests in history. Next Saturday, we’ll do it again.

One of my favorite parts is seeing all the people of faith creatively showing up and declaring No King but Jesus.

Here are a few glimpses of the first No Kings protest!

Just keep in mind that “antifa” means “anti-fascist.” It is not a real organization, like say the Oath Keepers…
“antifa” has no members and no way to affiliate.

Nevertheless, when fascists are running the government, anything that opposes them will be labeled “antifa.”

“We are the salt of the earth… and never forget - salt always melts ICE.”
-Rev. Otis Moss III

We are in a moment where we must choose faith over fear, justice over injustice, courage over silence.

So proud to stand with all of you who are choosing faith over fear right now.

Trump is trying hard to start a civil war.
We can’t give him that power.
We can’t feed into his narrative or his ego.

Let us rise up with the courage that this moment demands… fueled by love, rooted in nonviolence, steadfast in our faith.

Hate will not win.

On this Feast Day of St. Francis, grab a copy of the Chesterton classic from our online store. (I had the honor of writing the foreword in this new edition!). All sales go to support our work turning guns into garden tools!
