Episode Synopsis

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains content that may be disturbing for some listeners, specifically discussion of gun violence and mass shootings.

Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Terry Williams sit with the heaviness of these days, exploring the deep connections between anti-abortion extremism and the plague of gun violence that continues to grip our nation. While taking time to reflect on recent mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo, Kelley and Terry also make space to honor the legacy of Dr. George Tiller, an abortion provider who was shot and killed in his church in 2009 by an anti-abortion zealot.
