Your Safety is My Safety is a new video series from Bend the Arc that highlights our visions of community safety beyond the limits of our fears. The title is inspired by the story of Ruth, who decides to stay in care-based relationship with her mother-in-law Naomi instead of returning to her family and people of origin. In this choice, Ruth makes a deep commitment to Naomi and her community. “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your G!d, my G!d.” (Ruth 1:16)
Our video series is an invitation to choose, like Ruth, to be together in a commitment like hers.
“Where you move forward, I will move forward; Your community will be my community; your safety is my safety; your future, my future.”
May this Torah of chesed (loving kindness) and these videos ground us in a vision of what can be possible when we choose one another. Follow our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages to see new episodes as they are released.
