In January, Pax Christi USA filed an amicus brief siding with NJ in its effort to end ICE detention in the state. Unfortunately, the Biden admin sided with CoreCivic. The lower court ruling also provided a potential opportunity for The GEO Group to reopen Delaney Hall to ICE.
Looking forward to being part of this panel, remembering my father Daniel Ellsberg (Memorial) and all that he stood for.
On the eve of #EarthDay , tune in to America Magazine’s “Preach” podcast as Bishop John Stowe issues a call to action: Will we follow the Good Shepherd’s example and protect the planet, or turn a blind eye to the cascading climate crisis? Pax Christi USA #CareForCreation t.ly/sfa7h
We believe that “it is God’s will that every need be supplied” & today’s #CFPAction is about uniting in our collective desire to the Divine as we call for relief, release, repair, & restoration for kin in Gaza & Palestine.
We pray more Christians commit to embracing this call.
Saying “Congress won’t eat until Gaza eats,” over 60 Christians from across the U.S. are nonviolently blockading the Senate Cafeteria to pressure the Senate & staffers to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, restore aid to UNRWA, & end military funding to Israel. #CFPAction
These faithful protestors are in the Senate cafeteria singing the most beautiful song.
🎵Palestine will be free,
Palestine will be free.
We will not avert our eyes,
Palestine will be free. 🎵

“The Senate & their staff will not be dining today until the people of Gaza eat & are safe. We are here to pray blessings for the food that Congress will send to Gaza when they do the right thing. We are here to call attention to what is wrong…” #CFPAction participant Nichola T.
Peaceful protest and song calling for the cessation of a genocide shouldn’t be met with policing and arrest but then again, we shouldn’t have to protest to get genocide to stop in the first place. #CFPAction
Taking a step closer to Jesus: Robert Ellsberg reflects on the journey of Bishop Gumbleton paxchristiusa.org/2023/07/31/tak… via Pax Christi USA @RobertEllsberg
'To put it most succinctly, Tom lived out the peace of Christ in his complete being,' said Johnny Zokovitch, the executive director of Pax Christi USA. 'Everything that our movement strives to be was evident in Tom and how Tom lived.'
News: Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, the Detroit prelate who for many American #Catholics defined faith-based social justice activism in the post-Vatican II church, died April 4. He was 94.

RIP: Tom Gumbleton. Ordained aux. bishop of Detroit on 1 May 1968, he was the 11th most senior Catholic bishop in the world. Rome-educated, he was sidelined by the ecclesiastical establishment. Thanks to Archbishop Allen Vigneron for the kind words. 🙏 detroitcatholic.com/news/bishop-th…
It should be easy for a Christian like Sen. Cory Booker to take action against genocide- so why hasn't he? We don't know, but we'll keep trying. Meet us on 3/20 at noon.
