A cross-country bike ride for common good immigration

We finished our 3,200 mile ride along the entire U.S. / Mexico border and the U.S. coastline—66 days straight to listen, learn, and advocate for Common Good immigration practices and policies.

This full-length documentary will be completed if funding is secured

As we biked across the United States along the U.S. / Mexico border, we heard incredible stories and now it is time to share them with the world.

About

Greater Things serves as a small hinge to open a big door leading to a better world for all.

Faith, belief and religion exert positive, powerful influence on cultural assumptions and behavioral norms in the United States. And, while there is often great beauty and common good results from faith, at the same time too many religious narratives far too often feed harmful and destructive mindsets, policies and practices.

Greater Things makes change by helping faith leaders and individuals leave behind the narratives of exclusion, violence, greed, sexism, exploitation and racism rooted in white supremacy, and embrace instead faith and cultural narratives of reconciliation, inclusion, nonviolence, generosity, equality, and sustainability.

This change must begin by influencing the content and conversations within America’s dominant religious community, Christianity.
