Ciara Walsh: Over the past several years, the Armenian Christian population of Nagorno-Karabakh has been forcibly displaced through military pressure, blockade and intimidation. Churches were desecrated, villages abandoned and families scattered.

This was not an unintended consequence of war. It was the predictable outcome of sustained coercion against a civilian population defined by both ethnic and religious identity.

Mitch Randall: America has fallen this week, but we can get back up. We can brush the dust from our trousers. We can put our best foot forward in protest.

We can speak out denouncing authoritarianism and demanding consequences for illegal actions.

We can extend our hands towards the sky to bend the arc of the moral universe towards justice.

Brooke Holloway Blake: "But as we stood in the cold watching and listening—duly impressed with the projection—a chill seeped deep into my being as the story rang across the National Mall. Our nation’s history was clearly told through a particular lens in those 25 minutes, which made me wonder whether we were celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday or its 50th.

The technology was advanced. The ideology reflected an archaic vision of our history.

The lens of Manifest Destiny was evident."

Kristopher Norris: "The path that has brought us to this point is not working.

We must continue to call out injustice and remember that our faith is political. But we must also extend an invitation—to belong, to purpose and to a future bright enough to overcome injury and difference, if we are willing to work for it."

Grace Ji-Sun Kim: When it comes to poverty and acknowledging the profound suffering of many groups of people in our own nation, we tend to grow silent or revert to victim-blaming. Yet the harsh reality of poverty is impossible to ignore. Around 40 million people in the United States—just over 10% of the population—live in poverty.

How can this be true in the wealthiest country in the world?

If we are to address poverty in America, then we must also address racism, as these issues are deeply intertwined.

Jason Edwards writes: "When fear guides us, democracy begins to crack. We cannot cherish the common good while treating our neighbors as enemies. We cannot sustain a republic without relationships."

This is not a call to withdraw. It’s a call to return to empathy, to community, to the belief that democracy depends on our ability to recognize the dignity of those with whom we disagree.

Michael Chancellor: My experience working in a prison setting lasted just under six years. In Texas, it was routine in our 3,000-person facility to encounter offenders who did not belong in prison but were sent there because it was easier, though not cheaper.

Texas placed prisons in remote locations, where individuals were disrespected, forgotten, and crushed under the weight of isolation, abuse from other offenders and mistreatment by some security officers. Only in a pre-release private prison, where I provided mental health services, did I see glimmers of respect.
