Interfaith coalition offers prayer and song for Oak Flat

Within the Tonto National Forest in Arizona, Oak Flat is an area considered sacred by many Indigenous communities. It’s also been the site of legal battles and court cases. But this fall, it turned into a spiritual hub, and our radio partners were there to witness it. Plus, protests took place in Denver recently spotlighting a rise of antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate. And later, as communities throughout the country feel the crush of polarizing politics, our radio partners speak with a professor specializing in community building through problem solving and conversations.
