Shoulder to Shoulder Applauds Passage of the NO BAN Act

Posted on News by Middle East & Europe - Global Ministries · July 23, 2020 8:15 AM · 1 reaction

S2S.jpgThe Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign, of which the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and United Church of Christ are founding members, applauds today’s House vote on the passage of The NO BAN Act, which would repeal the harmful Muslim, African, refugee, and asylum bans put in place by this administration and establish vital protections against future discriminatory bans.

We cannot forget that one of the first acts of the current administration was to implement a racist travel ban policy, with the clear intention (based on numerous campaign promises) of banning Muslims.

National Council of Churches-USA Statement: US Must Not Suspend Funding to WHO

Posted on News by Global Ministries · April 16, 2020 3:54 PM

Originally posted here on April 16, 2020

For the hurt of my poor people I am hurt,
    I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me.
Is there no balm in Gilead?
    Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of my poor people
    not been restored?

-Jeremiah 8:21-22 NRSV

In the midst of a global pandemic with a massive impact on the health and well-being of people throughout the world, President Trump proposes to suspend U.S. funding to the World Health Organization (WHO). This is dangerous, immoral and wrong. Even though international institutions such as the WHO are not perfect, suspension of funding, proposed for 60-90 days while a review takes place, is irresponsible and ill-timed.

Support Survivors of Human Trafficking

Posted on News by Global Ministries · January 14, 2019 11:12 AM

January is recognized in the US as Human Trafficking Awareness Month and the 2009 UCC Synod Resolution and 2011 Disciples General Assembly Resolution against human trafficking urges congregations to recognize January 11 as Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Human trafficking, also known as modern slavery, affected some 24.9 million people in 2016 and is one of the most profitable forms of transnational crime. Traffickers prey on those who are in vulnerable communities and force them into labor, exploit them in commercial sexual enterprises, and move them across national or state borders against their will.
