Deeply Rooted & Tightly Woven: Building Community with SACReD

Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams are on location at the 2024 SACReD Gathering in New Orleans. A multireligious organization of faith-rooted reproductive freedom advocates, SACReD (Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity) builds connections across geographies and theologies to support abortion justice and reproductive justice.

Listen is as Kelley and Terry talk about the Gathering and reflect on the need to build robust, interconnected relationships to advance collective liberation in the face of ongoing societal stigma and oppression.
