What if we could disagree in a way that encouraged empathy and understanding? In this episode, Loretta Ross, an activist for reproductive justice and Professor of White Supremacy and Human Rights at Smith College, charges us to use her Calling In technique to hold people accountable with compassion. After her own personal experience of healing from sexual violence and working with reformed rapists and Klan members throughout her 50-year career, Ross has a unique approach to healing our growing political divide.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of rape and incest and may not be suitable for younger listeners.
