This week on the Beacon Podcast, Ben and Cate are joined by Jodi Hayashida with Multifaith Justice Maine. They talk about Gov. Janet Mill’s State of the State address and the moral questions around her decision to put another $100 million away rather than using it to fund programs to help Mainers in need. They also discuss Mills’ proposed actions on gun control following the Lewiston mass shooting in October. We’ll also hear how Mainers can get involved with the Poor People’s Campaign to combat systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation, and Christian nationalism.

Visit Poor People’s Campaign here.
