"This is an Organized Effort"

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says, "This is an organized effort."  And this is precisely right.  When human communities are brutalized by corrupt power, when human families are marginalized by economies of greed, we organize ourselves and we march.  We organize ourselves and we cross borders.  We organize ourselves and we seek better worlds for our children and neighbors and lovers.  "This is an organized effort."  Indeed.  

In his classic book Exodus and Revolution, Michael Walzer writes, “We still believe, or many of us do, what the Exodus first taught… about the meaning and possibility of politics: first, that wherever you live, it is probably Egypt; second, that there is a better place, a world more attractive, a promised land; and third, that the way to the land is through the wilderness. There is no way to get from here to there except by joining together and marching“.

Praise God for every one of these brave souls--joining together and marching.
