179. Sonya Mendoza: Christian Zionism, Christian Nationalism and a Free Palestine

In 2024 we are faced with insidious, well organized power grabs from the far right. Sonya is a dear friend of mine who has been a community organizer and activist for more than two decades. She's great at breaking down big concepts in ways I can understand and I hope it will help you, too. It's hard to know what to do to stem the tide of political forces who want to repeal women's right to vote and no fault divorce (for real!) and there's more we can do than we think. Grab your favorite beverage and join me and Sonya for a great conversation!
