Please take 2 minutes to watch the below video about an unjust situation taking place in York county. I visited the community Sunday night and spent almost 4 hours speaking with these people who are being cheated out of their homes.
Will you stand alongside this community, giving them a louder voice against what is happening? I will send out an email soon with more details about how you can be involved but until then, please raise awareness with your friends, family and co-workers as we attempt to build a larger base of support. As Christ-followers we are called to stand against injustice, please pray and act faithfully according to that call. We are not simply feeling bad for the situation they are in, we are acting to change it.
