[ In a world that seems increasingly chaotic and broken, many of us feel helpless and afraid. We may question what we can do to make a difference. To build collective courage, in this space we will share examples of how individual members of GEC are practicing the way of Jesus, in private action or in the public arena. How might you find inspiration and hope in the small steps others are taking? ]

Many Minnesotans of faith attended the No Kings 3 rally at the state capitol this past Saturday as an opportunity to put their values into action. Participants including Christians, Muslims, and Jews attended the event as a moral commitment to justice, compassion, and the protection of democratic values over authoritarianism. Their actions mirrored their religious beliefs and showed their objection to Christian Nationalism.

The next day, on Palm Sunday, many Christians returned to the capitol to take a stand against the avarice, inhumanity, and brutality of the current administration thus recalling Jesus humbly entering Jerusalem on the original Palm Sunday as a response to the corruption of the Roman Empire.
