Together we can compassionately solve the homeless crisis.   Join Theosophist Benjamin W. Decker Dr. Flojaune Cofer in a poignant conversation about how sometimes spiritual awakening means standing up to injustice and inequality and letting our hearts be roused into action.  Dr. Flo encourages listeners to not be deceived into believing the lie that it is hard to fix homelessness and other injustices.
