Day 1 of #ELCACWA25 and it feels like it was a week. A long first plenary getting thru all the necessary explanations. Hopeful things start to get interesting tomorrow! Hoping this church body is ready to claim and be accountable for how & when patriarchy & #WhiteSupremacy shows up.

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid.

Six hours ago, Sen. Chris Van Hollen boarded a flight to El Salvador, putting his safety on the line to demand justice for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
This is what leadership looks like. He’s meeting with officials, hoping to see Kilmar, & sending a message loud & clear: we won’t stop until he’s home.
