Rev Jason is a Chicago-based Bostonian with a passion for getting people free from cages of all kinds - ICE detention centers, prisons, mental hospitals, liberalism, etc. When not working, you can find Jason typing out poetry on his phone, snuggling his plump grey cat, and searching for the best non-alcoholic stout. Jason's primary writing can be found in sermon form.
