In today’s torrential downpour I attended two rallies. Both were in Chicago- St. Peter’s RC Church and the Daly Plaza. Both focused on the unjust immigration actions by our administration.

Her Mom Anna spoke and I was humbled to be in her presence. God is, the God of the oppressed.

I'm feeling the struggle after Ferguson, Staten Island, Cleveland, Baltimore, Dearborn, Southfield...after Watts and Detroit, after Selma and Montgomery, after Jim Crow and Slavery...it is all here and alive.
