We are relieved by this week’s verdict, yet we continue to mourn with the loved ones of George Perry Floyd Jr. and all the victims of law enforcement violence. Racial justice for black and brown lives in our country will only be achieved by dismantling oppressive systems. Amate House will find ways to educate our staff and fellows and support our site partners in their critical work toward social justice. #BlackLivesMatter

amatehouse Draw us forth, God of all creation.
Draw us forward and away from limited certainty
into the immense world of your love.
Give us the capacity to even for a moment
taste the richness of the feast you give us.
Give us the peace to live with uncertainty,
with questions,
with doubts.
Help us to experience the resurrection anew
with open wonder and an increasing ability
to see you in the people of Easter.

Fellow Site Post: Checking in with Simon at @sarahs_inn around how his work has shifted amidst the pandemic.

"Our mission to provide quality advocacy, counseling, and crisis intervention services to victims of DV has gone almost completely virtual, save for the distribution of items from our pantry and clients who need to come into the office for their own safety. We are still able to provide nearly all the services we did before the pandemic, however, connecting with clients is harder without face-to-face interaction. Still, our commitment has not changed and our leadership has been wonderful in ensuring that we can still provide our services as effectively as possible."
