Verse of the day

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners.
Isaiah 61:1

Voice of the day

If incarceration worked to secure safety, we would be the safest nation in all of human history. … If incarceration worked to stop violence, we would have eradicated it by now—because no nation has used incarceration more.

Danielle Sered, “Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair” (2019)

Prayer of the day

God of freedom, may we take your words seriously. May we work toward a world of repair and relationship, not violence and isolation.
