Joel Sharpton is joined by Co-Chair for Indivisible North Louisiana, Veda Emmerson to discuss faith in action & activism in this episode of We Are Louisiana Indivisible.
Veda shares her journey from a religious upbringing to becoming an advocate for social justice, emphasizing the importance of community engagement, voting rights, and supporting immigrant communities.
The discussion highlights the need for individuals to stand up for what is right and the role of faith in driving political action.
If you or your organization is involved in activism across our state or region, we want to talk to you!
