Delores Huerta and the Audacity of Safe Communities for Women, Children and Everyone w. Hilary Scarsella

In light of legendary union organizer Delores Huerta's allegations of abuse at the hands of Cesar Chavez and the collective grieve we all feel as this violence comes to light; in today's episode of Inverse we host Hilary Scarcella for a conversation which explores the intersection of religion, trauma, and sexual violence, emphasizing community accountability, reforming faith communities, and engaging scripture more liberatively. It offers deep insights into how faith traditions can confront their shadow sides and foster safer, more accountable environments.
