ArchCity Defenders and Action St. Louis present the premiere collaborative podcast, "Under The Arch." Your hosts Blake Strode, Executive Director of ArchCity Defenders, and Kayla Reed, Director of Action St. Louis, explore the issues facing our community and the people working to transform them.
This week, our hosts speak with Rev. Michelle Higgins, co-founder of Action St. Louis, Executive Director at Faith For Justice, and pastor at St. John’s Church - The Beloved Community in North St. Louis. In this conversation on faith in action, Michelle shares her insight on the intersection of theology and movement work in advocating for a movement centered around justice. We begin and close the episode with a tribute to our beloved friend Cora Faith Walker, whose legacy lives on through our commitment to our work.
