Next time on State of Belief Radio, the new Associate Director of Faith Outreach at Planned Parenthood, Dora Muhammad. With the post-Dobbs attacks on reproductive choice – most recently an attempt to ban a long-approved medical abortion drug – there’s a lot for her and her faith-inspired partners to do. We’ll look at how critical outreach and alliance-building efforts are going, and how religious communities are ramping up their work around this issue.

And a torrent of anti-LGBTQI+ lawmaking in North Dakota. Inspiring, faith-driven organizing to push back is coming from Interfaith Alliance of North Dakota, and we’ll hear from two board members. I’ll talk with Joe Larson, pastor of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Fargo, and the first openly gay ELCA pastor called by a Lutheran congregation in the state; and Barry Nelson, Interim Executive Director of the North Dakota Human Rights Coalition.
