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.

Characterized by Biblical stories and historical and contemporary examples where every need is provided for, such as the garden of Eden, manna in the wilderness, the practice of Jubilee, and early Christian communities, this theme describes the anti-poverty programs that run throughout the Bible. The season of “Jubilee” begins with and parallels the season of Pentecost, when God’s Spirit was poured out on a multiracial movement of Jesus followers, as well as the season just after, often known as Ordinary time. These Biblical narratives provide not only the moral justification that everybody has a right to live, but also demonstrate concretely how that reality can be achieved, and underscore the idea that such practices should be ordinary in our lives and world.
Joining us tonight are: Rev. Carlos Lara, Rev. Dr. Letiah Fraser, and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis.
