Episode Synopsis

Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams delve into the cyclic nature of justice work, addressing post-election legislative weariness and offering ways to stay engaged in the struggle for collective liberation that is most definitely a marathon instead of a sprint.

Confessing their own tiredness with the onslaught of attacks against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, Kelley and Terry draw on the power of spiritual traditions in times of darkness & waiting to provide hope for future work and ongoing support to people seeking access to care and community support.
