Trans women & men both scored in the high religious trauma category in my doctoral research. Both reported high rates of family estrangement after sharing their true selves. Hatred & rejection of loved ones rooted in religion is an evil abuse of theology. #TransDayOfVisibility

If our Christianity causes us to get more angry at the idea of a poor person possibly “abusing the system” than we do about the most powerful and wealthy people in our country creating a system that crushes the poor and makes it impossible to get by, we need a grand reversal.

President Trump can't punish and deport someone for their political beliefs. Mahmoud Khalil has not been charged with a crime — he must be released immediately.

The target isn’t Christians, it’s Christian nationalism. The target isn’t white people, it’s white supremacy. The target isn’t heterosexuals, it’s homophobia. The target isn’t men, it’s patriarchy. So don’t take it personally. Join the work & dismantle oppressive systems. - Carlos Rodriguez

We just launched a new resource to track Trump's executive orders related to our policy areas: separation of church & state, LGBTQ Freedom, reproductive freedom, public schools, anti-censorship, anti-authoritarianism, & more. Use it to understand what they mean and how people of faith can respond!
