Will our religious leaders have the
courage to speak out? An NCR article today
calls for the Roman Catholic Bishops to speak out: Sound the horn, bishops,
we're waiting. https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/editorial-sound-horn-bishops-were-waiting.
The women in the church continue to lead
the way. Roman Catholic Women Priests and members of the Upper Room Inclusive Catholic Community of Albany, NY are joining grassroots movements as
change-maker in their communities. This cartoon appeared in the Daily Gazette
Newspaper (Schenectady, NY) and immediately, the emails began to fly in
protest.
Citizen Action of NY posted this
message: We are asking everyone to call Managing Editor, Miles Reed, at
518-395-3106 and Publisher, John DeAugustine at 518-395-3051.
Our message is: We don’t accept the
publication, and perpetuation, of racism. We demand an acknowledgment of the
egregious attack on immigrants and people of color and a published apology for
the cartoon created by Tom Stiglich and published on Wednesday, June 20, 2018.
We need everyone to call and not let
this kind of vicious stereotyping continue to happen. Women leaders are taking action in
local, national and global issues. We are speaking out! When will we hear from the bishops?
