Show Up.
We don’t worship from the sidelines. We show up—in the streets, at the polls, in the pews, and at the tables where decisions are made. To be the Church means being fully present in the places where our faith meets the world’s pain. Our presence is part of the protest.

Speak Up.
Silence is not neutral—it’s complicity. We speak up against injustice, hatred, and harm—and for equity, dignity, and belonging. As followers of Jesus, our voices must rise in love and in truth, especially when it’s hard. Because preaching rainbows without naming the storm is not enough.
Lift up.
We lift up those who are weary, grieving, or forgotten. We lift up stories that have been silenced, names that have been erased, and communities under attack. This is the Gospel in action: not just love in theory, but love that lifts. Love that sees. Love that heals.
