We pray it inspires you to devote yourself, again and again, to building a better world for all—a world in which everyone is in and no one is out, just as God intended it. We invite you to become clear, committed, connected, and competent for the work of ending poverty and building a just world for all of God’s children.” We Cry Justice includes contributors such as: Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign “Nowhere in the entire Bible does God condone poverty. Jesus reminds us that God hates poverty and has commanded us to end poverty by forgiving debts, raising wages, outlawing slavery, and restructuring society around the needs of the poor.” William J. Barber II, DMin, cochair of Poor People’s Campaign “The Bible gives us courage in the midst of struggle and an authoritative critique above the false and distorted authority of the systems of injustices that create poverty and inequality.” Adam Barnes, PhD, director of rights and religion program at the Kairos Center “Systems of oppression, in the Roman Empire and today, create false moral narratives to justify violence of all kinds against the poor. Jesus teaches us how to subvert these systems and expose their domination.” Karenna Gore, founder and director of the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary “In Jonah, we learn to reject the illusion of escape, align ourselves with the divine, and step forward to do the sacred work to which we are called.”
