One Mormon woman became an "accidental activist" when she started a Facebook group for women of faith to connect. Within weeks, thousands had joined, and Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) was born. Today A is joined by Amy Gold Douglas and Emma Petty Addams of MWEG to discuss the legacy of activism in the Church and how each of us can be advocates and peacemakers as disciples of Christ.
