One of the proudest moments of my presidency was making Juneteenth a federal holiday. It's a day of liberation. It’s a day of remembrance. And it’s a day of celebration. Today, it was an honor to be in Galveston where freedom rang out 160 years ago. edition.cnn.com/2025/06/19/pol…

Thank you, President @JoeBiden, for signing the #Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, making Juneteenth a federal holiday. #NeverForget

When juxtaposed, Medgar Evers’ life of service and sacrifice stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s vitriolic rhetoric and current ideas for America, writes @RevDrMikeWaters commondreams.org/opinion/electi…

Thanks @rolandsmartin for highlighting our work as the Dallas Black Clergy for Safety, Equity, and Justice as we continue to address the inhumane treatment of our youth at Dallas County's Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center and Texas' Juvenile Centers. We demand accountability.

After Damning Report, Changes Demanded at Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-gr…

The deputy director overseeing Dallas County’s juvenile detention center resigned Friday, marking the second departure amid allegations of poor conditions and pending state investigations. The former executive director resigned last month. @dallasnews dallasnews.com/news/public-sa…

⁦@RevDrMikeWaters⁩ is right! The Juvenile Dept needs a top to bottom assessment from an independent third party criminologist to fix it. Our kids in the system need an excellent dept. It’s the right thing to do for them and public safety. 🇺🇸 fox4news.com/news/darryl-be…

The history of racial violence in this country runs deep. Juneteenth calls us to remember and repair the damage, says @RevDrMikeWaters. (From 2022) faithandleadership.com/juneteenth-bot…

Courageous Conversations 2024

As we continue with our Professional Development series, a free offering to equip the movement in effective direct action, we are beyond honored to have Rev. Dr. @RevDrMikeWaters join us in sharing about Prophetic Preaching and the Public Square: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… 🔥

When it comes to faith, and politics, the loudest voices haven’t always been the most beautiful or the most faithful voices. But as my friend @RevDrBarber says, “The way we change the narrative is by changing the narrators.” That is the critical work we are committed to at @RedLetterXians. We are amplifying the voices of Jesus and justice, of love and liberation. To that end, we are offering a series of workshops specifically geared towards helping compassionate people raise their voices in a public way. The first workshop was on how to write an op-ed with @GuthrieGF. The second workshop was on social media with Tim Whitaker at @newvangelicals. This next workshop is on prophetic preaching with Rev. Michael Waters on April 30. It’s being offered on a “give-what-you-can” basis but registration is required. Here’s all the info to register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Thank you, @ISNetworld!
