Presbyterian Church (USA) Week of Action 2021

Join us this week August 23rd- 29th for the Presbyterian Church (USA) Week of Action 2021! 

 

Amid the ever-present racial tensions existent in our nation and amplified last year, many PC(USA) staff band together to lift their voices in a proactive way to bring attention to injustice. The Bearing Witness Team has dedicated itself to responding to God’s call to create beloved community by dismantling white supremacy culture and whiteness through a cross-agency and denominational collective voice. What was produced through this collective effort last year was The International PC(USA) Week of Action 2020Voting Campaign 2020COVID-19 on the Margins Series, and the Black Lives Matter signage.

 

The theme this year is “Shades of Oppression, Resistance and Liberation.” The goal this year is to be even more inclusive of the wider denomination in the planning process as well as the implementation. Events will be both virtual and potentially in person. The Week of Action has, at its core, the idea of being a visible arm of justice in our communities around the denomination as we stand on the foundations of both Matthew 25 and the Hands & Feet Initiative. The week and theme are crafted to bring attention and action to the plight of those suffering from differing forms of oppressive situations.
