The Conservative, Pro-Democracy Movement — Recapping the Principles First Summit (With Matt Germer and Scott Warren)

Building Multiracial Democracy...in an Evangelical Megachurch (with Hahrie Han)

What can an evangelical megachurch teach us about racial solidarity? What can church "small groups" teach us about organizing? And what should democracy funders and practitioners know about both? I sat down with Hahrie Han to discuss her new book, Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/669326/undivided-by-hahrie-han/]. Hahrie is the inaugural director of the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University and faculty director of the P3 Research Lab. Thanks for listening.
