Nonviolent Action And The Theology Of Resistance

This week, WFYI's All Things Considered host Matt Pelsor is speaking with people who work to foster change in our region.

On March 6, a group of faith leaders were arrested in downtown Indianapolis when their protest that marked the DACA deadline blocked a busy street. Sister Tracey Horan was among them.

Horan is a community organizer with Faith In Indiana, and she spoke with Pelsor about nonviolent action and the theology of resistance.
