Summary
When I was at the protests in DC a sweet girl came up to me and asked how to start talking when you're afraid and I worry I was too harsh. I said something along the lines of "you just have to start".
We are past the point of being complicit in silence- and that doesn't mean that these conversations especially with family aren't hard.
Starting can look like
"If you continue to use racist and dehumanizing language I'm going to leave" and walking out of the room when they continue. There's so much power in a walk out.
Starting can look like
"I believe in loving and supporting people of all faiths, genders, sexuality and races and I'm not going to compromise on this."
Starting can look like
"Didn't Jesus say that loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself were the most important commands? Since when has love been demonizing, name calling and belittling people?"
In this episode, which is by no means comprehensive, I talk about some of the big "trigger" issues we see with Christian nationalism and right wing movements. This will be one to save and re-listen to. It's a lot of information but on the first listen, just try to take one thing. This month will be a lot of calls, cards, family events. Take one thing at a time, one resistance at a time and one courageous push back at a time.
You won't always get it right and thats ok. When you know deep down what you truly believe it gets easier and as you practice, it will become safe and you will become a safe space.

I get a lot of questions about how do I talk to my mom? How do I talk to my family? Do I need to cut them off? And today's topic is hopefully going to help arm you a little bit for those conversations. The question is, how do I talk to |

| 1:21.7 | movement of Christian nationalism gaining steam in America, a lot of data denial, a lot of demonization of education, and often the |

| 1:37.4 | these really important conversations because we don't have the luxury of silence. And this episode |
