- --- Humanity Rising Day 1005 - Tuesday October 15, 2024 (GoTo Bottom)
The Middle East is in flames. Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The United States is actively supporting Israeli military. Mainstream churches and synagogues are largely silent and therefore complicit. Today we dialogue with Cat Zavis, Executive Director of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, working to build a spiritually progressives social change movement, integrating spirituality and activism to build a world based on a new bottom line of love and justice. She is a Mediator and Trainer in Compassionate Communication.
Panel: Rabbi Cat Zavis, Michael Nagler
