Methodist Federation for Social Action executive director Chett Pritchett, and Love Your Neighbor coalition leader Rev. Steve Clunn arrested while witnessing against deportation. #Not1More Martin Luther King, in his famous Letter from the Birmingham Jail, called on all Americans to actively but peacefully oppose laws that were morally wrong. King wrote: There are just laws and there are unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that an unjust law is no law at all... One who breaks an unjust law must do it openly, lovingly...I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.
