Sending Prayers and Solidarity to Washington, D.C.

Sending Prayers and Solidarity to Washington, D.C.

As Washington, D.C. faces extreme heat, drought, and an overwhelming federal presence in its streets, the courage and resilience of its residents stand out as a beacon of hope. Over the Labor Day weekend, thousands have taken to the streets to stand up for human rights, labor rights, and community autonomy, even in the face of arrests, fear, and uncertainty.

We want to send prayers and hope for peace to everyone in D.C. navigating these tense days. The heavy enforcement, record-breaking arrests, and visible stress on daily life could easily overwhelm a community—but instead, we see solidarity, compassion, and determination.

To those protesters and activists standing up for justice and human dignity, we extend heartfelt kudos and support. Your courage reminds the world that even amid fear, ordinary people can unite for extraordinary causes. Standing together for human rights is never easy, but your actions show the power of community, empathy, and moral conviction.

Let us all take a moment to recognize the importance of peaceful resistance and collective action. May the spirit of solidarity reach beyond D.C., inspiring all of us to stand firm for human rights, fairness, and the common good.

Together, we hope for peace. Together, we hope for safety. Together, we hope for justice.
