A Prayer for a Moral Budget

There are moments in every generation when a society must decide on its real moral principles. This is one of those moments.

Please join us for 2 events (Download the flyer):

1) On Tuesday, December 13 at 7:00 pm, join Jim Wallis, Barbara Williams Skinner, John Perkins, Tim McDonald and hundreds of religious and community leaders from around the country. Together we will prepare our hearts and ask God’s blessing for our prayer witness the next day.

2) On Wednesday, December 14, we will pray for and call on our nation’s political leaders to reject a budget that harms our nation's most vulnerable (learn more). This peaceful act of prayer is likely to result in arrests for those who are willing, but not everone who joins us is required to get arrested. We must lift up another voice – a voice in prayer that speaks the truth of God’s word. If you plan to participate in Wednesday's prayer event, you MUST attend a training session at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation at 8:30 am the morning of Wednesday, December 14th.

Accommodations: If you are coming from out of town, we recommend you have a place to stay in DC the nights of December 13th and 14th. For a list of low-cost hosing options, click here.

If You Plan to be Arrested...

Those who choose to participate in the civil disobedience should bring a government-issued ID, $50 in cash (change may not be given at the processing center), and be prepared to go without food or medicine for 12-16 hours or possibly more (there will be water at the processing center). Accordingly, if you are coming from out of town, please make travel arrangements to leave town no earlier than the afternoon of the 15th.
Minors: We do not recommend that minors get arrested, as they will be taken to a different processing center than the rest of the group, including their parents if they are present.
Non-U.S. Citizens: We do not recommend non-U.S. Citizens participating in the civil disobedience.
