Recently, the 663 LCWR members assembled in Scottsdale affirmed and issued a letter to President Trump beseeching him to end all divisive rhetoric. It states, in part, "We implore you to never use language that disrespects, dehumanizes, or demonizes others.

John Biewen, regular guest Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika, and a variety of outside voices weave together a podcast series that examines the concept of "whiteness." Often discussions of race end up focusing on non-white people in a way that assumes whiteness as normative, and many assumptions go unchecked.

Images of immigrant children detained in cages, separated from family members, and living in unsanitary, unhealthy conditions have outraged the nation in recent days. Presidential threats of raids and deportations that will tear families and communities apart are creating fear and anxiety in our neighborhoods. The faith community has decried this treatment of immigrant children and families not only as a violation of human dignity and rights, but also as contrary to religious teachings and the sacred call to care for people who are most at risk, especially children.

That said, some of CiviCRM's core functionality is still a few steps removed.
