Quakers believe in loving your neighbor, but what is a peace-loving Friend to do when their city is invaded by armed forces intent on violence? For this week’s episode, we bring you a special conversation with four Minneapolis Quakers who have been wrestling with just that.
Notes:
Three of our guests are active in ISAIAH, a "statewide multiracial group of faith communities, Black barbershops, childcare centers, and more fighting for racial and economic justice in Minnesota". Information about events and resources for faithful resistance can be found at https://www.isaiahmn.org/
ICE Out of Minnesota has toolkits and resources for dismantling the "pillars of power" that our guests talked about. There are two upcoming actions against Target and Enterprise this week - https://www.iceoutnowmn.com/
