Dear friend,
We are gearing up for a fall full of grounded action. To kick it off, we’re highlighting a series of actions taking place in New York City around climate, economic inequality, and immigrant rights. This series is sponsored by GreenFaith and is the genesis of several liturgy and ritual pieces featured in our newest book, We Pray Freedom ([link removed]) .
In this letter:
* “Not in our name”, a song for Climate Week.
* Calls to action: Climate Week & No Kings
* Rev. Liz Theoharis’s newest article on Trump’s misuse of the Bible.
* Announcing the We Pray Freedom merch store
In solidarity and radical hope,
The Kairos Team
Not in Our Name ([link removed])
As performed at Climate Week
When the fires burn
And the seas rise
Not in our name
We say not in our name
When the oil burns
And the stocks rise
Not in our name
We say not in our name
When the gas burns
And the planet dies
Not in our name
We say not in our name
When you choose greed
And tell us lies
Not in our name
We say not in our name

In this country, we don’t have kings or wannabe dictators. America belongs to us. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. On October 18th, hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets to make it clear that America belongs to them. More information will be coming soon; for now, save the date.
