Michelle Meow Show - 03-26-2018 by Progressive Voices

We focus on this weekend’s student-led protests for gun safety nationwide. Activist Will Salzburg will be here to brief us on the mass action taking place in the nation’s capital… And for an outside-the-beltway perspective, we’ll get a report from Chicago, Illinois.

Also, Interfaith Alliance President Rabbi Jack Moline will discuss the role heritage organizations like ours can – and must - play in supporting this next-generation initiative.

And at a time when many of us might benefit the most from an active spiritual practice – even as it seems harder than ever to find a way to do that - an inspiring new book suggests a way. I’ll talk with Jana Riess, co-author of The Prayer Wheel: A Daily Guide to Renewing Your Faith with a Rediscovered Spiritual Practice.
