Fifth Sunday of Easter
Today we invite you to explore the role of carceral violence in repression, through Jesus’s disciples in the Acts of the Apostles; engage the reality of the carceral state through the U.S. Bishops’ letter on reform, and the proliferation of “cop cities” and criminalizing laws; and embody the parallels between the disciples’ struggles and our own with a contemplation, and the resistance to Atlanta’s Cop City.
