Dear John,
To change how we respond when harm happens we must reconcile with our nation’s history and legacy of white supremacy. But this is not easy work. Our justice system has upheld slavery and white supremacy, enforced segregation, protected lynch mobs, and fueled mass incarceration.
Sharpen Our Focus on Racial Equity [[link removed]]
So much has weighed on our minds and hearts.
What did we do, John?
We started to reckon.
And then we took action.
This summer, members of EJUSA’s Evangelical Network and Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty traveled to Montgomery, Alabama, to visit Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Stacy Rector, Executive Director of Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, summed it up well:
"... sharing the experience with others whose perspectives are different than my own made it even richer, providing insight into how we can build community around shared experiences in a time too often marked by fracture and division."
Our time in Montgomery was profound. The next step is using this experience to further sharpen our racial equity focus.
Help us take action [[link removed]]
Forward together,
Sam Heath
Manager, EJUSA Evangelical Network
