Podcast Description
This podcast lifts up the stories of local activists to inspire you to get involved in your own communities. It can be difficult to keep our hearts open to all the injustices that are impacting society. In an increasingly complicated world, we want to connect to the good work that’s already being done. Because it’s only by coming together that we can build a movement. This podcast is hosted by Leslie Mills and produced by the Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance (www.muusja.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting UUs to create a more just and loving world.
