Rise up, O God! Rise up in your people. Let the protests in Hong Kong bring democracy and freedom and not be co-opted by some new free trade initiative. Let freedom mean free. Rise up. Rise up, O God! Rise up in your people. Let the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, transform hearts and transform systems and structures of injustice. Do not let them be co-opted by some piecemeal appeal to white privilege. Rise up, O God! Rise up in your people. Let the protests in Colorado echo in such a way that we tell our stories about movements and communities and resistance so that they may be lived out once more. Do not let patrimonial capitalism steal our stories. Rise up. Rise up, O God! Let these protests against violence across the world become a gospel which finally gets out to the world. Do not let the corporate media once again ignore and snuff out the movement of your people. Rise up in me today. Rise up in our community tomorrow. Rise up in the world the next day. Rise up! Amen.
