- 5 The Power of One Voice
The daughter of a Hindu from India & a Presbyterian from Scotland, it's not surprising that Sandhya has spent 25 years in activism and organizing; from the streets of Oakland all the way to the Hall of Congress. Sandhya's policy background gets put to good use around housing & labor justice, but their experience as a pastor and in non-profit also give them comfort in organizing, training and providing spiritual encouragement. They are currently working on their fifth book for Chalice Press.
