    Lisa

    I recently heard you and Shane Claiborne on Inverse Podcast where I learned of next week’s nonviolent action in Philadelphia culminating with a Good Friday gathering at the site of Lockeed Martin. I also learned of your podcast and just finished listening to your interview with Rev. Issac, prophetic! Thank you both.

    I can no longer remain on the sidelines. Lisa, looking forward to meeting you and standing, kneeling alongside you next Friday!

    Grace and Peace
