Join the conversation on faith-based activism and the defense of peaceful protest in the face of federal intervention. This video explores the disturbing reports of federal troops allegedly using force against clergy and everyday Americans protesting peacefully across the nation, including incidents in Chicago and Oakland.We draw a crucial parallel to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and '60s, recalling how leaders like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and countless other men and women of faith, paid a heavy price for justice. Learn about the legacy of brave pastors—like Rev. George Lee, Rev. Bruce W. Klunder, and Rev. James Reeb—who were targeted for standing up against injustice.This piece respectfully questions the use of aggressive force, such as "less than lethal" weapons, against civilians and asks a critical question of today's religious leaders: Will they condemn these reported assaults on clergy and citizens?Support the show
