Bridging Across Difference

April 4, 2017 Leave a Comment

Like millions of others around the United States and the world, I participated in one of the women’s marches held in January. At a time when I felt discouraged and disheartened about the future of our movements for social justice, the march was a life-giving, inspiring moment that catalyzed my commitment to resist oppression in all its forms. As a Read More

Coexist or Contradict?

March 28, 2017 Leave a Comment

While stopped at a red light on my way home one day I noticed that the two cars immediately in front of me had the same “Coexist” bumper sticker. You’ve probably seen one like it. Each of the letters of is a symbol representing a major religious or spiritual ideology. For example, the “C” is a crescent moon symbolizing Islam, and the “X” is a Star Read More

Parenting and Politics: How I’m Showing Up

March 2, 2017 Leave a Comment

When I was ten weeks pregnant I gave an impassioned speech in front of the Supreme Court during the Hobby Lobby hearings about why universal access to contraception was part of my own religious understanding. I’d wanted to share about my own planned pregnancy, but at that point I wasn’t far enough along to feel comfortable telling that in a public Read More

Catalyzing, Not Culminating

January 20, 2017 Leave a Comment

  On this Inauguration Day I have been putting the final touches on my sign that I will carry in the Women's March in Raleigh, NC tomorrow. It reads, "Love not hate will make America great." Though I'm regularly in DC, sometimes several times a month, I deliberately chose to stay home and participate in the local march because I firmly Read More

Encountering Spirit: A Ritual of Blessing for an Abortion Clinic

January 18, 2017 Leave a Comment

For the last year I have had the honor of serving as Chair of the Board of Directors for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC). This leadership role often requires great personal and professional sacrifices and yet blesses me tenfold in return. At this moment in history I can think of no more important organization to offer my time Read More

Finding the Quiet this Advent Season

December 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

This Advent I've been struggling for silence and stillness. My pursuit for calm isn't new, but it has a newfound urgency. The cacophony that erupted early in the morning one month ago today has left me despondent most days. For a week straight after the Presidential election I absorbed as many of the noises as I could stomach, but I found that I Read More

Opting In, Opting Out: Navigating Political Divisions “for the Sake of the World”

October 20, 2016 Leave a Comment

  Over a year ago I made the decision not to watch–not to consume the vitriol of this political disaster we in the U.S. have created for ourselves. It was a conscious choice in favor of my own self-preservation which I stand by. I had no idea at the time how important that decision would be for my own mental and spiritual health in the coming Read More

Get Compassion:Reflections on Childbirth and Privilege

July 19, 2016 Leave a Comment

Jessi Klein wrote an Op-Ed in last Sunday’s New York Times entitled “Get the Epidural” in which she takes on the arguments for “natural” childbirth and makes an astute point about its premise: “It’s interesting that no one cares very much about women doing anything ‘naturally’ until it involves their being in excruciating pain.” Thinking back to Read More
