The Case for Asylum in These Less Than United States
(Common Dreams) In late March, I sat in the gallery of the Supreme Court for the first time in my life. Throughout my 30 years of grassroots anti-poverty work, I’ve joined countless protests and vigils outside the Court. In 2018, I was even arrested and held in detention for praying on its palatial steps.

On Saturday, hundreds of people came out to Comer Cox Park for Springfield’s Survival Revival: Survival Springfield, Reviving Resistance, Rebuilding Power.
There was free food (both BBQ and vegan), live entertainment, including two young local dance crews, and dozens of community tents from 40 organizations across Springfield. There were kids playing basketball and in the splash pad. There were feminine products, narcan, native plants and produce, t-shirts, tambourines, face paint, bubbles and more - all for free, for all to enjoy.
Over the course of the day, community members built a ribbon memorial honoring loved ones who have passed on and their legacies we carry forward. Leaders from Black Lives Matter SPI and the Sonya Massey Commission taught us about qualified immunity and holding our government accountable. Together, we claimed that democracy is a matter of survival.
This is what community looks like.
