"Concentration Camps in America" with Melissa Chaudhry

For the first time on this podcast, Sørina reaches out beyond pastors and begins inviting guests who engage with public rhetoric in other ways besides the specifically theological. Today, she talks to Melissa Chaudhry, a community organizer, author, public speaker, former state congressional candidate, and wife of a disabled American veteran detained by ICE. They discuss truth vs. injustice, principle vs. corruption and how narratives enable systemic violence. Melissa urges local communities to share and transmit memories and warns about impending social collapse. They discuss tradition, faith, integrity, morality, and our power to help one another and nurture positive change. Whether advocating for immigrants or fighting fascism, Melissa decries dehumanizing and violent rhetoric but believes in bold, direct speech and action.
