As 2026 begins, Faithful Resistance turns its focus close to home.In this episode, we speak with Gretchen May and June LeCrone of Jefferson Unitarian Church about local, hands-on work supporting immigrants and other vulnerable people across Colorado. From vigils at the GEO detention center in Aurora to Know Your Rights education and emerging community defense initiatives, this conversation explores what faithful, ethical solidarity looks like in practice.We discuss: • What “support for the vulnerable” really means • Immigrant accompaniment, detention-center vigils, and spiritual witness • Know Your Rights trainings for individuals and businesses • Community defense and allyship without “white savior” harm • Partnering with impacted communities rather than acting for them • How people of faith can move from concern to meaningful actionGrounded in Unitarian Universalist values, this episode reminds us that faithful resistance isn’t abstract—it’s local, relational, and rooted in dignity, courage, and partnership.Have ideas for future guests or justice work we should highlight?Email: [email protected] for more conversations on faith, justice, and courageous community.
