WESTHOPE RESPONDS

Dear Vandal,
Let’s talk about it.

Saturday, December 13, 2025
Local news station KRON interviews Rev. Erik Swanson about the repeated vandalism to Black Lives Matter and LBGTQ+ signs on our campus. We replaced the fourth vandalized BLM sign this weekend. Earlier this year we posted a sign inviting the vandal to come in and talk about it.

Stop the violence. Start the conversation…

"Any church that is just praising God, but not performing justice, is just having a party...an idolatrous party."

-Rev. William J Barber II

Westhope Presbyterian Church welcomes people of all faiths or no faith, people of every color, gender identity, sexual orientation or status. We strive to dismantle structural racism and systemic oppression of the poor and marginalized.

We invite you to join us in standing up to the unjust agenda of greed, racism, violence, and division. We stand in solidarity with workers, immigrants, BIPOC, LGBTQIAA+, families, the earth and all people for dignity, safety, equity, civil and human rights. We stand for love and compassion as the heart of social justice.
