camwynHi,
Yesterday police in Oakland, California, attacked thousands of largely peaceful protesters -- firing tear gas, flash grenades and rubber bullets into crowds that included children, the elderly and people with disabilities.
Police have cracked down on other Occupy encampments across the country, evicting and arresting hundreds of nonviolent protesters in Chicago, Atlanta and Albuquerque. Occupiers in Baltimore, San Francisco, and other cities are also being threatened with eviction and arrest.
When a peaceful movement for social and economic justice is met with violence and repression, people of faith have a moral obligation to speak up.
I just signed a petition calling for an end to attacks and arrests on Occupy protests -- will you join me?
