What does it mean to forgive in these times when acts of cruelty towards immigrants, people of color, poor people and others are being perpetuated at the highest levels of our government? Is forgiveness possible, or even advisable? We’ll explore forgiveness from the point of view of those who are harmed and how we can collectively begin a healing transformation.
