On the next State of Belief Radio,

A week ago saw a women’s march and an anti-abortion march in the nation’s capital. Jack Jenkins wrote about the awkward intersection for Religion News Service, and he’ll be with us to share his thoughts.

Then, an important multifaith action this weekend as a diverse group of activists and religious leaders stand with our Muslim sisters and brothers against government-sanctioned discrimination. I’ll talk with the Franciscan Action Network’s Patrick Carolan.

And, do recent Supreme Court actions suggest a growing anti-gay bias disguised in a new understanding of “religious liberty”? Or is it too early to tell? I’ll ask attorney and activist Jay Michaelson.

On the #RADIO show this week we celebrate that millions of women again just took to the streets to march on the Women’s March anniversary with the co-President of the march; we celebrate that paid family/medial leave is gaining momentum across the nation including in Pennsylvania where a recent poll found 80% support; we cover the new book Invisible No More: Police ViolenceAgainst Black Women and Women of Color; and we discuss the danger of marginalized communities getting pushed out of dual language programs and why it impacts you.

*Special guests include Bob Bland, co-President of the Women’s March, @WomensMarch; Carey Cummings, Working Families Party PA, @wgfpa; Andrea Ritchie, author, @dreanyc123; Conor Williams, New America, @NewAmerica.

It's no Secret that "Pro-America" Means "Anti-Trump." I like to call it the "Normal Majority." Join RDTdaily.com’s Tara Devlin for our weekly therapy session for the Resistance! Rebroadcast on Progressive Voices Sunday 6 PM EST, then ANYTIME on the Progressive Voices App. Tarabuster is also on GDPR Revolution 99 [gdprrevolution99.com]
