But none of us can be erased if we refuse it. The idea of love, justice, and freedom do not belong to the powerful alone. It also belongs to us.
- Danté Stewart
Radical Love. Radical Thinking.
It's in the Bible and it's in the Declaration of Independence.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
- Matthew 5:6
The Declaration of Independence included these three major ideas: People have certain Inalienable Rights including Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. All Men are created equal. Individuals have a civic duty to defend these rights for themselves and others. ushistory.org
What's so radical about this? The words are meant to apply to everybody. No exceptions. No exclusions. There are no barriers.
It's the basis of our democracy and it is not about Christian Nationalism, because the invitation is, come as you are, all are welcome.
