“The advantage of the marginalized: those at the edge of any system, those excluded from any system, have a head start in understanding the message of the gospel [...] if you are a person of color, person of a different gender, you know what the idols of that system are...

Because you have been excluded from it. Those of us that enjoy the privilege don’t recognize the idols of the culture.” -Richard Rohr We can learn so much from those who are marginalized in our culture, take time and listen and learn from the voices that are silenced.

The statement, "I want to help" or "How can I help" puts us at the center when we should be placing the voices of who lead us at the center.- inspired by the words of @superkimistry during our first Apoyar de Miriam gathering. #organizing #wisdom
Last night after the City Council meeting we met as a group in solidarity and support of Miriam. We are so lucky to have her leading us and we are so ready for liberation. We are a step closer thanks to advocates on city council.
Team #MiriamVargas thanks the @ColumbusCouncil for passing a resolution supporting the two women in sanctuary in #ColumbusOhio. #ThankYouCityCouncil - #SolidarityWithEdith #LetMiriamStay
