Willing & Able to Be Angry: Processing Violence in the U.S.

Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams address the attempted assassination of former President Trump amid the context of reproductive criminalization and ongoing violence directed at abortion clinics.

Kelley and Terry cut through the hot takes and knee-jerk reactions with some real talk about nonviolence, white male privilege, and what holistic justice should look like beyond individual instances of trauma and politically-inflated moments of national reckoning.
