New Jersey Council of Churches

We lift up Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a powerful Black woman of faith, who acted with spiritual clarity and moral courage.

She led and stood up in truth.

She championed the inherent dignity of people inside Delaney Hall.

She answered the call to protect, not provoke. To expose abuse, not engage in it.

• We gather as faith leaders and people of conscience to declare this a sacred moment.
• We open this space in prayer—grounded in justice, love, and the deep conviction that every human being is made in the image of the Divine.
• Let our presence today turn this square into holy ground and this moment into sacred resistance.
