"Across the country, organizers are carrying something heavier, clearer and more spiritually charged than anything I have seen in over 30 years of this work. From veteran freedom fighters to young activists, there is a growing alignment around the unmistakable presence of evil in our public life. The horrors unfolding before us have sharpened our collective sight and deepened the understanding that our resistance must be morally unwavering and spiritually grounded."
"The devastation was not only permitted by the United States; it was carried out with our weapons, our cover and our political immunity. Not long ago, people still debated the nuances of settler colonial frameworks regarding Israel and its violence against Palestinians. Today, those debates feel like artifacts. Israel's leaders stripped away any pretense about the humanity of people in Gaza."
Organizers across the country are experiencing a heightened spiritual clarity and moral urgency as movements confront an unmistakable presence of evil in public life. Activists from multiple generations are aligning around resistance that is morally unwavering and spiritually grounded. Movements seek to reclaim a moral vocabulary that names evil plainly, following Dr. King’s model of naming poverty, racism and materialism as triple evils. The systematic slaughter of civilians in Gaza, enabled by U.S. weapons, cover and political immunity, has crystallized outrage and anchored communities spiritually. Debates over frameworks like settler colonialism have collapsed in the face of visible human devastation.
