i m proud of the clergy that heard our call to come from around the country to charlottesville to stand and bear witness against the violent of white supremacy and we re going to continue that work and we will not rest until this violent ideology is crushed. and that is not what america is about. when we think about the violence that we witnessed today but also the fact that there were clergy members there, seeing one wisped off the air, do you feel unsafe through what you re trying to do and through what you re trying to do leading by example and the words and actions that you re trying to utilize there in charlottesville? sure.
