Freedom Church of the Poor Sunday Service

Black August is a holy season of resistance, reflection, and rededication to a revolutionary love ethic that compels us to struggle with and for each other. It began in the 1970s inside California prisons, after the deaths of Jonathan and George Jackson and other incarcerated Black freedom fighters. It is a time to honor the legacy of those who have struggled for freedom—and to prepare ourselves for the battles ahead.

In the face of growing repression, state violence, and religious nationalism, this season calls us to spiritual clarity, deep connection, political competency, and steadfast commitment to liberation for all who are oppressed. At Freedom Church of the Poor, we believe in a God who breaks chains, who sides with the poor and dispossessed, and who calls us to build a beloved community on earth.

Let Black August be our altar. Let struggle be our prayer. Let collective liberation be our destiny.
