View submission: Musk and Flynn targeting Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio funding.
DM me and I can get you connected with church communities, if you like. ELCA is explicitly queer-affirming, in favor of immigrants rights (to the point that I'm surprised Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services wasn't targeted first), pays for abortions of employees on the organization insurance, etc. Additionally, there are a variety of missions to participate in to improve the lives of our communities nearby and abroad. I know of recent events focusing on poverty, foster kids, homelessness, etc.
You don't have to be Christian or join the church or anything, I just think we might need to expand our allies right about now.

Man, I really wish the once-ELCA Lutheran church in Westerville hadn’t turned to the dark side and joined the NALC instead. I grew up in an amazing ELCA church in Texas and have struggled for years to find something similar reasonably close to where I live. Westerville Episcopalians also destroyed their once large, thriving Episcopal church by having a schism after the whole Bishop Gene Robinson thing in 2006. But hey, Rock City is expanding its Westerville campus, yay.
