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.

In this season of Disability Pride Month, we honor the struggle, resistance, wisdom, and joy of disabled people living in systems that were not built for disabled people to survive, thrive, or fully belong. We celebrate the sacred truth that disabled people are not burdens to fix, but beloved image bearers of God whose lives reveal creativity, interdependence, resilience, and joy.
Throughout this month, we will reflect on four healing narratives from scripture. Too often, these stories have been used to blame disabled people for their conditions or to suggest that disability is something shameful or in need of erasure. Instead, we will approach these passages as invitations to reimagine healing as inclusion, accessibility, liberation, and restored community in a world shaped by exclusion.
During this season, we proclaim that disabled lives are holy, disabled joy is sacred, and the work of justice calls us to build communities where all people can flourish.
