I'm grateful to have represented @BlackChurchFSN last week at an important gathering in #Brazil focused on #climatechange, sustainability & regenerative #agriculture. Thank you @Ashoka for bringing this inspiring group together to explore ways that we can scale our impact!

I'm seeing more prayer calls for politicians than prayer calls for peace. Where have all the prophets gone?

Global Death Merchants (euphemism: “Defense Contractors”) poised to rake in at least 52 billion US dollars by 2026 due to increases in governments’ spending and “rising geopolitical tensions.” They’ll buy back stock and pay stockholders with profits. Violence is big business.
