STAND UP: we shall not be moved

where do your
faith  beliefs  words  actions
intersect

is anybody listening
when you spit about racism sexism the 'isms'
when you cry for the hungry

when you question the unquestionable
do their eyes roll

you tired of the holy
that aint whole

Come STAND UP
with other young leaders
like you
questioning, thinking,
remixing their spiritual and social stories

trying to be about real change

learning from artists, organizers, activists, scholars, ministers and local youth leaders

two intense weeks in The Bay living and learning together

nothing like it
