Zoe Bartholomew granted me permission to use her name here. Zoe is the one who sent the wonderful article about resisting systems of domination and oppression without the use of violence. Thank you Zoe. https://cpj.ca/defiance-not-compliance-turning-the-other-cheek/

Also, Zoe is working on her own book, I'll send out more when Zoe's book is released.

One of our wonderful subscribers sent this article to me. Thank you.

"Jesus’ instruction not to resist evil and to turn the other cheek transforms from an instruction to accept injustice into a challenge to resist systems of domination and oppression without the use of violence. Rather than ignoring an evil situation and hoping it will go away, Jesus is telling his followers to find creative, active, and nonviolent ways to assert their humanity and God’s love in the world."

Please remember you never have to turn the other cheek to a perpetrator!
