      <title>The Uncomfortable and Hard Work of Coalition Building</title>
      <description>In this months episode, Malynda Hale and Rebecca Thomas bring on Rabbi Joel Simonds  who leverages centuries-old scriptures to inform modern advocacy on issues like economic justice, environmental protection, and protecting the vulnerable. We break down the power of true partnerships over superficial alliances with insights like the story of Amalek and the importance of putting the marginalized at the forefront—not just on social media, but in real, tangible ways.
