| Activism Not Oil In Texas |
"This experience has 'rearranged' who I am. Going to Central America was the first time I have looked at our country and how what we do greatly influences Central America. I have changed the way I eat, dress, and how I make purchases." Sharyl Davis, Houston, TX
"After learning from so many who lost family members, because of government policies, I knew I needed to be a voice. I never thought I would be an activist. I've been called in directions I never dreamed of," Sharyl shared with me. Like Rev. Sayres, November means going to Ft. Benning, Georgia to protest the School of the Americas where many of the military in Central America were trained.
"At home in Texas, each Saturday morning I stand in solidarity with the undocumented workers waiting in line for jobs across the street from my church. On the other side of the street stand those in opposition of undocumented men getting work."
Sharyl loves Betty and the women at CEDEPCA. "Since 1992, I have brought people meet with CEDEPCA and learn what brilliant and committed people they are. In some ways, CEDEPCA is ahead of the people there- and not in a condescending way but rather than provide 'aid', they keep nudging through actions and theology in new ways that provides freedom and self worth to the people." |
