God who is She, They, Ze, He, and beyond many names,
Let this be our prayer:
We will not be silent.
We will not be violent.
We will love.
We will defend Black lives.
We will affirm LGBTQIA+ lives.
We will protect the vulnerable.
We will show up when it is hard.
We will demand justice when the world refuses.
We will organize, teach, march, feed, shelter, vote, heal, build community.
We will reflect critically, think rigorously, and act courageously.
And that love, radical and unrelenting, will change the world.
Amen
