Inauguration day 2017

1/20/2017

 
As a new administration takes power in Washington,
the mandate of the Gospel is clear.

The Community of St Bridget stands with:
Women 
Children
Muslims
Jews
Immigrants
Latinas & Latinos
Mexicans
Refugees
African Americans
LGBTs
Climate Scientists
​People with disabilities
the Old
the Poor
the Sick.

We support equality and inclusion.
We love diversity.
We build bridges - not walls.
We defend the environment.

We oppose:
torture
aggression targeted at women
white supremacists 
dictators and autocrats
hate, fear and division.

We will stand
and speak out in defense of our values,
remembering these words of Martin Niemöller:

First they came for the Socialists,
and I did not speak out 
because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak for me.
