Our Moral Moment w/ Sarah Longwell
A conversation on the power of everyday people's stories to revive democracy
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, William J. Barber, II, and Sarah Longwell
Jul 08, 2025
We were glad for the chance to sit down with Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark today to talk about her newest project, Home of the Brave, that is creating a platform for everyday Americans to tell their stories about Trumps radical changes to federal policy are impacting them.
Creating a platform for directly impacted people is a central commitment of any moral movement. We each have more power than we know, and that power can be unleashed in public life when we have spaces to share our stories with one another. It is a democratic practice that was instrumental to the making of the Declaration of Independence and is always needed to sustain a democracy.

Cathedral in Manhattan, or all of NYC (the 5 Burroughs). A beautiful structure inside, and out. A moving evening!
