I am a part-time blogger on issues of faith, politics and social justice at Minnesota Progressive Project and The Minnesota Political Roundtable. I also write for Minnesota Public Radio.
BlueCollar Daughter: Raised to profess social justice and faith (and such).
108 years ago, my ancestors came as strong-willed, hardworking and God--loving intellectuals from Europe. They came to pursue the promise of land, freedom and education for their children, and a brighter future than they fear they faced in the political and social climate of Germany. Here they encountered the lies and broken promises many immigrants to America faced. My family largely worked themselves to death in the squalid conditions of the packinghouse industry, blue collar workers who broke their hearts and backs for my white-collar future.
I desire to live a life exemplifying the Christian walk, a walk I feel is entirely compatible with intellectual endeavor, good humor, and activism. I consider myself a politically progressive "blue sheep" of the Christian faith, and embrace a fiscally liberal, pro-labor, egalitarian philosophy which values an active fight for social justice. Our faith in Jesus Christ emboldens us to fight against poverty, injustice, discrimination, ignorance, intolerance, arrogance, greed, racism, sexism and oppression in all its institutions. Our family lives an afflicted victory through which we seek to encourage, enlighten and bring hope and joy to others through Spirit-led works of the hand, heart and mind.
