Faith has the ability to ground our movements in love, hope, and radical tradition. We commend Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for her courage in using her faith and her platform to speak truth to power.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
