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.

Amid rising costs of living and growing economic inequality, more than half of the country struggles daily to meet our needs. Misplaced national priorities are starving local and state budgets, forcing more and more communities to fend for themselves.
Over the past year, the Kairos Center has been organizing with communities that are responding to these conditions in rural counties, small towns and medium sized cities. As they are compelled to take action around housing and food insecurity, healthcare cuts, climate disasters, attacks on immigrants, police violence and democratic decline, we are working together to build more resilient networks locally and across the country that are part of a national movement for fundamental change.
In April, we brought delegations from five regions together to prepare for a “Season of Survival Revivals” this summer. Through art, song, study and action, and powered by our diverse histories and traditions, we began to envision an organizing model that could meet our daily needs, withstand this moment and inspire our political imaginations. More than a series of events, the Survival Revivals will lay claim to the society we deserve and know is possible.
