Springfield’s Witness: Haitian Neighbors and Faith‑Rooted Resistance

from The Jim Wallis Podcast

Jim Wallis focuses on Springfield, Ohio, where Haitian families who fled insecurity and disaster now face bomb threats, school evacuations, neo‑Nazi demonstrations, and dehumanizing lies from national leaders. He speaks with Pastor Carl Ruby of Central Christian Church and Viles Dorenville of the Haitian Community Help and Support Center about how Haitian neighbors have revived a shrinking city, transformed worship, and organized to defend Temporary Protected Status and community safety. Together they explore faith‑rooted resistance, neighbor love in practice, and how Springfield’s story can guide churches and communities across the country to stand with immigrants.​If you would like to support the Haitian Support Center, please go to https://haitiansupportcenter.org/ and click on donate.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
