Watch this: Black Lives Matter leaders on ‘The VUU’

Today’s episode of the Church of the Larger Fellowship’s weekly talk show The VUU featured Black Lives Matter Minneapolis leader Lena Gardner, who describes confrontations with police over the fatal shooting of Jamar Clark, an unarmed black man, on November 15.

The show also features Leslie Macfadyen, cofounder of the Ferguson Response Network and one of Gardner’s fellow members of Black Lives of UU, and the Rev. Meg Riley, CLF’s senior minister, whose child Jia Wronski-Riley is also an antiracist activist in Minneapolis. The panelists talk about the importance of self-care in a protest movement responding in often chaotic situations to traumatic events.
