The Jesse Jackson Jr. ShowOakland Rev. Sandhya Jha sits in for the American and Canadian PresidentGeneral Minister of The Disciples of Christ Church, bringing legitimacy to the notion that church members are taking time to discuss their political differences on the foundation of their shared faith. This is the route. This is the hope we hold on to in the days where people will be hungry and hurting.
2025-10-2842 minThe Jesse Jackson Jr. ShowICE vs SNAP: Feeding People is Natural. Deciding who Eats is Not.Ernest Crim III and Jesse Jr hash out the bottom line…people in the wealthiest nation should never go hungry since food is not scarce. The motives of leaders who choose to send children to school hungry or let the elderly miss meals is one of conscience. The conscience becomes the responsibility of churches across the country to do the work that the government rejects. Joined by Rev. Sandhya Jha in the last segment, she confirmed the thought that the help will come from one another.

What's the value?"Accountability" - Sandhya JhaSandhya is an author and anti-oppression consultant with 20 years of community organizing experience. She particularly loves helping organizations get Diversity/Equity/Inclusion teams off the ground. These types of topics are really interesting to me, not only for the obvious reason of how important they are to reduce unnecessary suffering, but also because they speak directly to the complexity of human nature. Trying to understand the root cause of oppression and inequity (which I think is critical to actually addressing the issues) requires you to understand human nature.
This made for a good discussion...
