Let Light Shine Out of Darkness

Last updated on: June 7, 2018 at 12:03 pm   By Tom Truby

America, Let’s Take An Honest Look At Ourselves

Last updated on: June 4, 2018 at 1:23 pm   By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

United States citizens, we need to take a brutally honest look at what is being done in our name. Our nation remains, as Dr. King said, “The greatest purveyor of violence in the world.” So many of us are rightfully horrified by the new policy of criminalizing “100 percent” of undocumented immigrants at the border, including asylum seekers who fail to enter at specified ports of entry.  (This violates the Refugee Convention of 1951, which allows immigrants seeking asylum to... Read more
