Tennessee pastors are heartbroken that President Trump's Big, Bad, Billionaire Budget has passed both the House and the Senate and is headed to the president's signature into law.

Thank you Rev Ed for calling out the harms of President Trump’s budget! Jesus said care for children and the poor... our leaders said make the rich richer 💔 @thetnholler.bsky.social

This MAGA Mirder budget will cause more children in poverty to go hungry. Pastor Rick reminds us this is NOT CHRISITAN! #ChristianValues #SNAP #MEDICAID #PastorsforJustice #StopTheBudget @thetnholler.bsky.social

Our faith leaders condemn today's decision from MAGA Supreme Court justices that undermines the US Constitution and the faith values that Christians are called to welcome the immigrant as citizens in our home country.

The 3 liberals dissent.

Sotomayor: "No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from law-abiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship."

📖 Hebrews 13:3

“Remember those in prison…
as if you were there with them.”

😔 “Remember those who are being tortured…
as if you felt their pain yourself.”

If pastors read directly from the Bible in addition to #jenhamilton will those who identify as Christians be less offended and follow the words we are called to hear? 🤔🧐📖 💔#LoveYourNeighbor #micah68 #micah6:8 #letthechildrencometome #tennessee #dojustice

"The legislation would likely push millions of the most vulnerable Americans off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid, which provides health insurance for low-income children, families and people with disabilities."

Alireza is one of many who has been #DisappearedInAmerica.
Everyone—regardless of status—has the right to a fair hearing, access to legal counsel, and protection from arbitrary detention. Without constitutional protections, none of us are safe.

There are services at churches across Tennessee that are celebrating PRIDE and the love that Jesus has for every one of His children, who are ALL created in His image.
Here are a few opportunities in June, including, this Sunday, June 8!

Pastor Matt is asking us to contact Senators Blackburn and Hagerty to reject the false narrative that caring for our neighbors is somehow optional or unaffordable, or something Jesus never told his followers to do.

Trump's "big, bad, billionaire budget" could take away healthcare from nearly 14 million Americans, including seniors, people with disabilities, & kids, to give tax cuts to billionaires!

Christians need to speak out against such a harmful budget! forwardtn.org/action/

This budget is a heartless attempt to take away healthcare from those who need it most, all to line the pockets of billionaires.
Call Senators Blackburn and Hagerty and tell them Jesus commanded us to love and care for children, not take away their healthcare!
