, we see more protests for community control, women's rights, chicano activism, civil rights, social justice, black power activism into the 1970's. when we think about those assassinations, we remember them as important pivot points. but it is important to recall that the social movements don't end because we have these big political mobilizes or icons who are assassinated. when the leader or representative is a woman or man, they are representing a ground of political organizing that is happening at the local level. there is no dr. martin luther king jr. without joann robinson, of the women's political counsel in montgomery, alabama, or rosa parks. people who were day-to-day organizers. what he is doing as an articulate her is he is able to galvanize attention for what people have been doing at the local level. even though what movements lose when someone is assassinated is that there is no focal point or figurehead that can bring that kind of media attention, but the movements continue. host: the caller mentioned robert kennedy. he enters the race in march 1968. what did he mean to the civ

magazine is faith in action for social justice. tell us what it's all about. magazine triesrs to bring together an evangelicalg of christianity and its relationship to issues of social justice. understanding quite clearly that social justice is not something extra that those who call themselves christians engage in, it is in fact the core of the christian tradition and the core of christian faith. indeed one of the leading voices in sojourners. host: your front-page piece for the april issue is how evangelicals became white, looking at the arc of where the evangelical is in america. what motivated you to write the article? briefly, what have you found? guest: one of the things that motivated me to write the article was the fact that so lentwhite evangelicals their support in terms of voting to the make america great again vision during the presidential campaign. over 85% ofwell white evangelicals supported this vision and this presidential campaign. that seems to be a contradiction given that evangelicals have typically been considered values voters. they plac

protests for community control, women's rights, chicano activism, anti-war activism, civil rights, social justice, black power activism, all the way into the mid-1970s. when we think about those assassinations, we remember them as really important pivot points. but it's important to recall that the social movements don't end because we have these big political mobilizers or these icons who are assassinated. whether a leader or a representative spokesperson is a woman or a man, they are representing a groundswell of political organizing that is happening at the local level, right? so there is no dr. martin luther king jr. without joann robinson of the women's political council in montgomery, alabama, or rosa parks, people who were actually day to day organizers. so what he's doing as an articulator is he's able to galvanize attention for what people are doing at the local level. and even though what movements lose when people are assassinated is there's not necessarily that focal point and that figurehead who can bring that kind of media attention, but the movements definitely continue. >> kathlee

up there i'm afraid pleasure to speak to george george bottom i guess political activist and social justice campaign thank you. now wednesday was the second and final day of facebook hearings in the u.s. congress in the wake of a massive data breach scandal on the social media platform the five hour session wrapped about half an hour ago and turned out to be much punchier than the first day which was dubbed an a to sham the hearings revolved around political research from cambridge analytical which improperly harvested data from eighty seven million facebook profiles with the social network's permission the data was sold to third parties and used in political campaigns and supported cambridge analytic it may still have the information that it gathered however many members of the two senate committees holding the first hearing are long time recipients of political donations from facebook some of them received as much as tens of thousands of dollars already this year maybe that explains why lawmakers were not particularly keen to go hard on the social media giant. and were these people eighty

is the question i am asking but does this book appeal to an audience of people interested in social justice issues? the answer is no i know i am not -- this is in the right house for it and even if i love it it is not right for beacon but have you checked out chris for a number of other editors who might be more interested. pay attention to who the author knows or what organizations they are affiliated with that will be really instructive and these are the things i think you think about as an editor, and only working on nonfiction, with fiction the audience can feel a little broader. that is where i start. >> the lot we learned about the author questionnaire. i'm really excited - the person who wrote this book submitted the luis meriwether prize, and thinking about that copy in the book i went back in a new read to read her initial statement for the prize and saw there is another group of people that would align with this book, and there are myriad ways we end up having this conversation and they are different in flexion points in movement and moments. and they help identify what was readil

both social justice and economic justice issues and i think they are all intertwined and go hand in landve to do the criminal justice reform and have to change the fact that we still have two black men in a starbucks getting arrested for sitting there. and that is a huge structural impediment to make sure everything is fair and i talked about full employment and we focus on how do we make sure thatern -- that every person who wants to be working is working and one of the original visions of dr. king and his wife coretta scott king after he was murdered is to talk about how you create universal jobs. and i think you could create a program or invest in communities and create public service jobs for anybody who needs one and doesn't have one and if you do that, you could deal with structural and intertucson -- institutional communities. >> and you have taken a position in terms of dealing with the march and demonstrations from gender equality to dealing with new gun legislation. where is the temperature you think in the mid-term elections? will the democrats be able to take the house and en

what's the social democrats are talking about is debating the issues of the future whether it is social justice a key issue for the social democrats or germany's role in the world so on that will try obviously to try and bridge that divide within the social democrats no one here is expecting simoni. to win against under their knowledge but many are a bit fearful that simoni role here could affect on their knowledge is role as well dented if you will a bit so it will certainly be interesting to see what kind of debate we will see here today in these bought and also what kind of debate we will see in the social democrats in the near future and you'll be keeping tabs on what's going on for us thomas sparrow many thanks to you. we're going to look at some of the other stories making news around the world now in syria chemical weapons inspectors have finally taken samples at the site of a suspected chemical attack in the town of duma experts from the chemical weapons watchdog want to determine if internationally banned substances were used to attack residents there earlier this month several western

as followers of the gospel of served theits promotion of justice come engaging the social realities ofoverty, oppression and injustice. i would sayone word it is justice. if there is one issue, i would say children. people ask me what is the most important issue? i would say the same thing. , ourhildren, our children children. their health, education, economic security of their families, which includes pension security of their grandparents. a clean, safe environment in which they can thrive and reached their fulfillment. since 2006 atr, the congressional democrat house and senate are the and we have a better deal. we have a better deal, better jobs, better wages, better future. a better future means some of the things i mentioned already, and i can go more into it if you want. i know i am taking a long time with the first question but this better deal is in contrast to the raw deal i think the american people are getting. i didn't mean to get political in this religious place but we are talking about values. jesuits.oted pope benedict in his first encyclical called "god is love e," he

. >> now you continue to fight around immigration issues, voting issues, other social justice issues.his justice department seems bent on trying to reverse a lot of the things achieved over the last 50 years as we mark this week, dr. king's assassination was 50 years ago as well as robert kennedy. seems like they're trying to erase a lot of what we consider progress. >> that is, without a doubt, true and it's too bad because i think we were building up a lot of momentum in the area of criminal justice reform. in new york, we appealed the rockefeller drug laws. our prison population has come down while crime has come down. we cut the numbers of stop and frisk and crime continued to go down. drug courts that provide treatment options instead of upnecessarily on incarcerating people. i don't think they'll stop the momentum because most criminal justice issues are at the state and local level. the federal justice department has a role and can help or hurt, we'll continue pushing for reforms that make us safer as well as doing justice. >> new york state attorney general eric schneiderman,
