Faith 2020 with Rev. Dr. William Barber & Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Plus your usual Top 5 articles
Dear Friends,
The latest Faith 2020 podcast episode is fresh out the gates this morning with special guests Rev. Dr. William Barber and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove of the Poor People’s Campaign. This is an exclusive, as there aren’t many interviews out there on the campaign and its recent forum with several Democratic candidates. The New York Times ran an exclusive from the podcast this morning as well. It’s worth a listen.
Also, this is just too on-brand to not share…watch this British priest react to the music video for Ariana Grande’s “God is a Woman.”
And now, your Top 5…

Top 5 articles
“The California coast is disappearing under the rising sea. Our choices are grim”
Because this article is a masterclass on the changing climate and its potential environmental, economic, political and social effects on one of the US’s largest and wealthiest states. It’s also simply a beautiful article and LA Times also created an interactive game to help readers understand the difficult governance choices related to climate change.
Because David Brooks looks at the Gen-Z:Boomer generational divide, especially when it comes to defining meaning, a theme we’ve been playing with in this newsletter.
“Imaging Post-Trump Nationalism”
Because Emma Green takes a look at one avenue or movement in the Conservative party that is anti-Trump, but also forging a new path.
Because we missed this article back in April, which confronts liberal democracy’s difficulty in providing a neutral system that includes, but does not impinge upon, a diversity of universalisms. This sentence description is probably the opposite of helpful…we’d recommend just reading the article.
Because the detention camps at the US-Mexico border are a crisis for the ages.
