In the seven years since Brown moved to Solvang, he has become a core social justice leader. He has made his Lutheran Church the center of inclusion and radical acceptance in the community.
Brown has led, supported and advanced justice in local communities, reaching out to those who are unseen, marginalized, and discriminated against; and helps those with privilege learn how to do less harm and be better allies in the fight against racism and discrimination.
(Brown) will say it’s the work of others, but he has been instrumental in the church’s food distribution program and blessing box, which provides food to anyone who needs it, no strings attached. He does this in a way that makes it easy and comfortable to accept the help.
