"as people of faith serving our people we need to be here!"

Check out our own Protest Chaplain, Erica Richmond, in this video on the PBS website: Religious Voices from Occupy Wall Street.  Also in the video are Rev. Michael Ellick of Judson Memorial Church and Rev. K. Karpen of St. Paul and St. Andrew.  Rev. Ellick reminds us that people of faith have been working for justice as long as religious communities have existed!  Our work continues...

Statement of Support for Occupy Boston

The members of Protest Chaplains NYC stand in solidarity with Protest Chaplains in Boston. We are deeply troubled by the violence Occupy Boston experienced during the early morning hours of October 11th. As people of faith and members of Occupy Wall Street we seek to embody radical love in our intentional presence at protests and people’s movements for justice. We continue to pray that all voices will be heard and that people can continue to speak up about economic injustice and political disenfranchisement. The police backlash in Boston only deepens our commitment to this sacred work. - Protest Chaplains NYC

Protest Chaplains

We are Protest Chaplains - NYC. As people of faith called to embody radical love, Protest Chaplains - NYC commits to being more deeply and intentionally present at protests and people’s movements for justice. We are grieved by the ways religion has been misused to support violence, greed, and exploitation of poor and working class people, people of color, immigrants, women, people with disabilities and queer people. We offer a listening ear and a ministry of prayer, presence and support to all people engaged in the difficult task of crying out against injustice and living out their deepest commitments.
