By Andrew L. Seidel

…ided a case like this at virtually any time, but waited until after it had completely gutted the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County (2013) and Brnovich (2020) and after it had upheld partisan gerrymandering in Rucho v.

…and abuse For those of us who grew up in and have now left patriarchal or complementarian communities, it’s no surprise that a denomination like the SBC would have systemic problems with abuse. We’ve experienced this over and over, and yet many in the church continue to argue that abusers are only a few bad apples, as if the institution itself doesn’t create the conditions for abuse to exist.

By Chrissy Stroop

…looking at the fundamental problem with how policing is conducted towards communities of color.
