Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

We must breathe to keep our hearts beating and blood flowing. But, so many of life’s challenges threaten to or actually do suffocate us.

Community Renewal Society is essential to the eradication of systemic racism in the United States because we must breathe.

Just as God gave us the breath of life, we must express our gratitude by giving to the work that minister to the needs of others.

We are those whom God breathed on; who breathe because of God; and whose breath is continually being choked off. We are those who are suffocated by marginalization, degradation, dehumanized and demoralized due to the color of our skin.

We Must Breathe affirms the sanctity of life. There is no place for poverty and racism in our society. Together, with a collective breath, we can transform society toward greater justice, greater good, and greater love. Together, as a Beloved Community, we must breathe.
