22] – Repairers of the Breach Team [Religiousaffairs@breachrepairers.org] on Mon., June 22 at 5 PM are asking you to join in on Moral Monday DC in front of the White House at Black Lives Matter Plaza.  RSVP at bit.ly/MoralMondays2026

This is to launch a season of Moral Mondays. Meet EVERY MONDAY to preach and speak the truth, building a public pulpit and a prophetic witness that the whole nation can see. Gather around a clear moral declaration: We declare non-violence, love, and justice against policy violence. Stop the war. Protect voting rights. This is not abstract. A budget is a moral document — and our budget funds war while pulling away the bread, the medicine, and the ballot from the people. More than 14 million people are at risk of losing health care, and millions have already lost food assistance, even as the Pentagon budget passes $1 trillion. The money to protect our neighbors already exists. What is missing is the will. We have come to supply it.
