Perspectives on the Crisis in Israel/Palestine with Harvard Divinity School’s Assistant Dean of Religion and Public Life, Dr. Hussein Rashid & Gregory Khalil, President of Telos — a Washington D.C. based peace-building movement — in conversation with Kathryn Stanley

I am supporting Elizabeth Warren because she has an ethical vision for this country that recognizes where we come from, to see where we could be. She speaks in a way that makes us believe we should be responsible for each other, and that we don't have to tear each other down to build ourselves up.
