I have a voice. It is a small voice, perhaps, but it will not be silenced. When you call for black people to be beaten, and excluded, and even removed—I will say no.

When you mock the disabled and threaten the oppressed—I will say no.Reading | By Amy Petrie Shaw | September 29, 2016 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Activism, Anger, Anti-Oppression, Character, Commitment, Democracy, Direct Experience, Justice, Limitations, Nonviolence, Oppression, Secular
