We know that the religious right does not represent all people of faith, and it is in moments like these when the Just Texas community is called to speak boldly about the need to love and protect transgender children in Texas.
Today, we would like to introduce you to a faith leader in our community who has committed their spiritual practice to social justice: Reverend Erin Walter.
Read Reverend Erin Walter's full profile!
“I became a minister out of a call that is rooted in anti-racism and gender justice. [Two events] that inspired me to go to seminary were the killing of Trayvon Martin and Wendy Davis' filibuster for abortion rights. I just thought, ‘in different ways, one person's life can make a difference, and I'm going to devote my life to this work,' " says Walter, who adds that, "people of faith have a big role to play in the public square when it comes to fighting for democracy."
