Faith Organizer Terry Williams interviews Faith Choice Ohio Executive Director Elaina Ramsey about her recent sabbatical and the spiritual foundation behind the systemic centering of people’s wellness over productivity.
Grounding the discussion in the spiritual roots of sabbatical in Jewish and Christian theology, Elaina and Terry draw direct connections between time spent resting and core pro-choice values in the fight for reproductive health, rights, and justice — including ways that good rest helps us all sustain the ongoing fight to put abortion rights on the ballot in Ohio in 2023.
From the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion to the modern day struggle for intersectional reproductive freedom, religious voices have been at the forefront of fights that matter for generations. We’re here to amplify essential voices, tell stories that often go unheard, and lift up the holy and healing work of faithfully pro-choice activists like you.
