Berrigan’s Folly: An Online Event to Consecrate this Place of Respite for Resistance

D. J. Hudson (he, they, Ser) is a Black trans Southerner, cowboy, and minister to the movement. Hailing from Atlanta  with roots in Rome, Georgia, D. J. spent 15 years in Nashville, Tennessee attending Fisk University, Vanderbilt Divinity School, and organizing locally, statewide and regionally for racial & economic justice and queer & trans liberation, while quietly pastoring and listening for spirit all along the way. A proud member-lead of Southerners On New Ground (SONG) since 2014, D. J. now serves on SONG’s board. He finally got tired of running from his calling and is currently taking a sabbatical to write, be organized by his family, neighbors, and the flora & fauna of Atlanta, revive his vision for movement chaplaincy, and start having church in the Wild.

Frida Berrigan lives in New London, CT with her husband and three kids. She is an urban farmer and community activist, organizing around affordable home ownership with the Southeastern Connecticut Community Land Trust, and against the ever stretching shadow of militarism with the Connecticut Committee on Nuclear Prohibition. She writes periodically for WagingNonviolence, TomDispatch.Com and In These Times, and is the author of the 2015 book “It Runs In The Family: On Being Raised By Radicals And Growing Into Rebellious Motherhood” (OR Books). Most recently she authored Our Fast Matters, a booklet of 40 Lenten reflections for Pax Christi USA. Frida is on the board at Kirkridge.
