Today is the National Moral Day of Action!This morning at State Capitols around the nation, at 11 AM in every time zone, justice will roll across the country as faith leaders from diverse traditions, people impacted by poverty, racism, and injustice, advocates, and activists come together rally and to deliver to our elected leaders and candidates the Higher Ground Moral Declaration, which calls on governors, senators, state legislators, and candidates for office to move away from extremist politics and policies that benefit the few and move toward policies and laws that are just and fair and guarantee a better life for the majority of the people.
Follow the hashtags #MoralDayofAction and #MoralRevival (or #MoralRevival with the two-letter state abbreviation for your state, e.g., #MoralRevivalNC for North Carolina) to see updates throughout the morning and afternoon of the actions taking place all across the country.

Holly Roach is teaching a three-part webinar series on Dismantling Racism for The Center for Progressive Renewal in October. This course is an exploration of the historical and structural ways that racism is hardwired to culture in the United States. She will explore the role of white people in challenging racism and white supremacy and how to have that work be fed and sustained by the deepest wells of our faith.
Registration is only $69.00 and the classes will take place Oct. 11, Oct. 18, and Oct. 25 from 8pm-9:30pm ET. Learn more and register online now!
Transform Network recently signed on as a partner with the We Stand With Love campaign, started by our friends Brian McLaren, Jacqui Lewis, and others with the purpose of saying NO to the hate rhetoric that threatens to divide us and YES to the more just and generous ways of living with and loving one another.
We encourage you to learn more about the campaign and sign up for daily email meditations. Holly Roach has written one on "Love Stands in Solidarity" for an upcoming email, and Steve Knight has put together a music playlist.
