The fearful hate retreats in the face of the vision of freedom for all, especially for the people of the global south who have suffered at the hands of White Nationalist Neo-Liberal Capitalism.

At the Earthchxrch we welcome the Newest New Yorkers, about a hundred mostly West African young men each day. They join us at 36 Loisaida Ave (Ave C) in the East Village - each weekday from 8 am to 4 pm. On Sundays, some of them join us for our 5 pm 'Earth service,' featuring the heavenly music of the Stop Shopping Choir. We offer a heating system, but the roof leaks a little... There is a partnership (we contribute money) with a local soup kitchen EVlove. English lessons are taught, sometimes by the migrants themselves, as speaking in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Arabic, and various indigenous dialects fill the air of our single room. A strong gift is the newcomers' vision of freedom and independence, urged on by the 22-story woman in the harbor with her torch. We are reminded of our dream, coming to this place.
