Without the Black Church, There Is No Movement — David Marshall on Faith and Activism

The unfolding landscape reveals a troubling trend: the civil rights protections we fiercely fought for are being systematically dismantled. President Trump's administration has strategically positioned loyalists in the Justice Department, resulting in the dismissal of dedicated civil servants. Voting rights cases have reportedly been ordered to decline under new leadership, indicating a shift away from safeguarding marginalized communities. The U.S. has now joined the Civicus Monitor Watchlist, signaling a concerning decline in civic freedoms. Amidst these challenges, voices are calling for coordinated resistance, urging collective action across diverse sectors to confront authoritarianism effectively.
