This article explores and describes a source and type of political resistance to social death in an indecent society. While there are varied forms of political resistance, I consider the ways communities of faith and care serve as sites of resistance, wherein the grammar of racist humiliation, mimetic violence, and social death is inoperative. That is, the routine, day-to-day faithful and caring interactions of oppressed persons are key sources of political resistance, even when it appears the arc of history is not bending toward justice.
