Pulpit At White House: Truth In A Time Of Lies
By William J. Barber, II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove Photos: Wikimedia Commons During rush hour on the north side of the White House, moral activists and prophetic witnesses stepped into H Street to challenge the policy violence and corruption that plagues our common life at tonight’s Moral Monday DC. Over the top of the White House, we could see the rigging of a cage Trump has built on the South Lawn for a UFC fight to celebrate his birthday. But outside the gates where generations of Americans have come and gone to do the people’s business, we built a pulpit in the street to tell the truth about the America that must yet be. In this moment, we have everything we need if we will just fight for what is right. We don’t have to fight with violence. We don’t have to fight with hate. We don’t have to become like the forces that are fighting us. We can stand in truth and love and nonviolence and win – not just to go back to what was, but to achieve a new future for this nation. That’s what prophetic imagination offers America in its 250th year. That’s why we’ve set up a pulpit outside the White House. We hope you’ll listen to the messages from Moral Monday DC tonight, and help us spread the word that there’s a space in the nation’s capitol where anyone can come on Mondays to hear the truth that can set us free.
