Whenever there is a local, national and/or international incident which sets communities against each other, demonizing some and glorifying others, I look to Pax Christi Metro New York (PCNY) to disseminate a voice of reason and manifest a consciousness that we are all ONE, sisters and brothers sharing this planet with all creatures. From this posture, PCNY encourages decisions on local and national budgets and speaks out for marginal communities who have been silenced while encouraging them to regain their Voice.
