The David and Goliath story reminds us that when we stand for what is right we can win, even if we’re up against adversaries who talk loud and boast about their strength. But David doesn’t win just because he’s on the side of truth and justice. David makes a plan. He prepares to use the tools at his disposal. And at the critical moment in the story, David doesn’t leave his power in his pocket. He matches faith with action.
This weekend, I’m crossing the state of North Carolina, from Elizabeth City in the East, to Wilson in the Sandhills, to Winston-Salem in the Piedmont, working with Repairers of the Breach and our partners to mobilize people who have the power not only to vote in the upcoming midterm elections, but also to help their communities match faith with action in this moment.
On Monday afternoon, Jonathan and I will be on Substack Live with Ezra Levin from Indivisble to talk about why the No Kings coalition is holding a national day of action for early voting October 17, preparing to use the power of the vote as Repairers of the Breach lifts up the particular smooth stone of a march to the polls in this effort.
And at 7pm ET on Monday evening, Jonathan and I will be back with Dr. Hanna R. Broome for another episode of The Repairer’s Brief. Join us for facts and focus to empower the organizing work you’re doing in your community.
