The overturning of Roe v. Wade today by the US Supreme Court was predictable and serves as a reminder of what happens when anything – including a country and its government – is built on a cracked foundation. A crack indicates that the structure has been built upon a weak foundation and will eventually be destroyed by the storms and the winds of life. The decision today uncovers that the destruction of this country is taking place.
We, the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference, Inc, are committed to pushing against the wall of toxic politics, a wall that has always existed in this country. We will do all that we can to mobilize congregations, communities, and individuals to fight against the policies that keep seeping through America’s crumbling foundation. We will continue to encourage those who believe in freedom to stay the course. We will continue to remind them that not only has the entire existence of Black people in this country been tainted by racist and sexist laws, but also that our ancestors pushed against them. There was no government, no law enforcement agency… and no judicial system that protected them. They worked against injustice because they had to and because the God they worshipped told them that they must.
It was Ella Baker who said, in a 1964 speech, “We, who believe in freedom, will not rest until it comes.” The truth of that era’s struggle is still the truth today. We say to women across this country, “Hold on, and continue to fight!” None of us can rest until it comes.
Consider these resources for continued congregational education, encouragement, and strength for engagement. Know that SDPC continues to work to create space that grants the protection of rights for all God’s creation. We lift prayers of protection and encouragement as we continue to work together in the work of justice that must come. We stay committed and watchful.
