On “Side with Love” Sunday in the heart Valentines weekend and Black History Month, we will consider what resilience looks like for those of us who believe in freedom. Are walls tools we use in our pursuit of justice and compassion? What about weapons? In the end, we have to present alternative frames of mind and processes to ensure we don’t replicate the oppressions that we know so well.
