Giving Breath and Voice to Cries For Justice

In the aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd and the violence and destruction of the past days, there are many ways we can support the healing and re-building process, whether donating food, making a financial contribution, helping with the clean-up, or simply calling a friend.

The Star Tribune highlights a number of support organizations HERE.  In addition, Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light offers additional suggestions, such as:

Phone a friend. Take ten minutes and have a conversation with someone you know about police violence and George Floyd’s murder. Ask what the other person thinks, listen to their responses, and share your own perspective.

Phone a decision-maker. Make your voice heard by contacting your local city councilmember, county commissioner, state and federal representative.

Donate to the George Floyd by clicking here: Memorial Fund.

Support front-line organizations who are leading work on the ground: Black Visions CollectiveReclaim the BlockMinnesota Freedom FundCTULCOPALBlack Lives Matter MinneapolisNAACP MinneapolisVoices for Racial Justice

Read and educate yourself. MPD150 has released a thorough and insightful report asking us to imagine a different relationship to policing as a society. 

In addition, Minnesota United Methodist Bishop Bruce Ough add his voice to the anger and frustrations we are all experiencing, and shares our commitment to real change as people of faith, giving breath and voice to the cries for justice. You can read his comments HERE.
 

The people of PPUMC stand with the Minnesota Conference in rejecting the

Traditional Plan approved at General Conference 2019 as inconsistent

with the gospel message and will resist its implementation. 

We remain committed to full inclusion.

LOVE GROWS HERE.
