We uplift Diverse Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries's healing prayers for Jacob Johns, a father, Unitarian Universalist, and Indigenous climate activist. DRUUMM reminds us of the painful truth that our Black, Indigenous, and Communities of Color face disproportionate trauma and harm, and if pastoral care would be helpful for any DRUUMM member, please reach out at https://bit.ly/3RV0aKI.
Jacob Johns, a father, Unitarian Universalist, and Indigenous climate activist from Spokane, was tragically shot last week morning during a peaceful protest against the erection of a conquistador monument in Tewa territory, also known as Española, New Mexico. He is presently battling for his life in the ICU.
DRUUMM shares our healing prayers with Jacob and his family and uplifts the struggle for self-determination and environmental justice Jacob is a part of. We are painfully reminded that our Black, Indigenous, and Communities of Color face disproportionate trauma and harm, and if pastoral care would be helpful for any DRUUMM member, please reach out to us at druumm.org/chaplains

We cannot overstate the urgency of combating the intensifying violence against Indigenous peoples that has persisted since colonialism's inception, especially amidst the climate crisis. Together, we must recommit to our collective care and protection of each other and our planet.
