Palm Sunday
Faith Actions
Reclaiming Christianity in the Public Square
March 29, 2026
Fiercely Loving God & Our Neighbors.
Christians stand for loving our neighbors. We stand for healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and welcoming the stranger. We stand for telling the truth and honoring the dignity and worth of every child of God. On Palm Sunday, March 29th 2026, Christians across the country will stand up to the rise of authoritarianism and white Christian nationalism. We will stand against the politics of greed, cruelty, and oppression by continuing to show the country that our central commandments, to love God and love our neighbors, is our way forward.
On the day Christians celebrate as Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem in opposition to the greed, cruelty, and oppression of the Roman Empire on a donkey, a symbol of a just, humble leader who cares for the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the stranger. Christians will follow Jesus and embody the heart of our faith on Palm Sunday 2026. We will draw a contrast to the values guiding the actions of the current administration, as we embody and celebrate our love for God and love for our neighbors, regardless of where we come from or what we look like.
We proclaim a faith that centers love for our neighbors and rejects a politics rooted in greed and cruelty. To be a Christian is to choose love. Join us as we embody that love and celebrate the heart of our faith on Palm Sunday!
