Support Bishop T in Boston

Tufts Progressives in Boston: I know Bishop T. and I personally helped out one day to build the structure in his back yard that he is using as a church. The work that he does in the community is invaluable. He is an honest and gentle man who always speaks up on behalf of oppressed communities. If you can go support him, please do!!!
Thanks,
Eva

---
Calling all progressives! Defend the Peoples' Church in Brockton! This exceptional church is led by Bishop Filipe Teixeira, who has made the church a center for immigrant rights in Brockton and Massachusetts, used the church as a base to fight for workers rights and to fight against racism wherever it appears, including in the case of the Somerville 5. Bishop T has also used the church to provide serve the people programs including childcare, healthcare and food programs.

Because of his unflinching stance against racism and advocating for the poor, the racist power structure in Brockton is doing everything in its power to shut down the Peoples' Church. When they went so far as to get the church removed from a building provided by the Episcopal diocese of Boston, Bishop T mobilized help from progressive forces and physically built a church space in his back yard to continue the work. He has successfully fought off repeated attacks on the church based on petty regulatory requirements that are all clearly a smokescreen for the continued racist attack on the important community based anti-racism and immigrants rights work the church is doing.

NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO TRY BISHOP T ON CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR CONTINUING TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. He is to be arraigned in Brockton Housing Court at 9 am Tuesday morning, May 20th.

BE THERE TO STAND UP FOR BISHOP T AND THE PEOPLES CHURCH!
COME OUT THIS TUESDAY AT 9 AM AND SAY NO! TO THE FORCES OF RACISM IN THE BROCKTON ESTABLISHMENT!

SPREAD THE WORD!
