A Call to Prayer for Societal Injustice

April 16, 2021 by The staff of The Upper Room

On April 11, 2021, the world witnessed another unarmed Black man killed at the hands of law enforcement. Across the United States, we are seeing a significant rise in Asian American/Pacific Islander racist attacks. Multiple Native American women and girls have gone missing or been killed, with no justice in sight.

Join us in a special Call to Prayer for Societal Injustice led by Rev. Dr. Mike Bowie, Rev. Dr. Ron Bell, Jr., Rev. Dr. Derek Weber, and The Upper Room Publisher Rev. Kimberly Orr.

May our prayers remind us that change begins within and it begins now.
