There’s another faith-led Moral Mondays protest in front of SCOTUS right now — this one noticeably larger than in weeks past. The march from a church to SCOTUS, where people will decry cuts to healthcare programs in the GOP budget, is led by pastors and wheelchair users (and some who are both).

Not just alt-weeklies, we need robust community journalism in areas where local media is dead or dying. You want to counter the Fox News narrative? Start changing the narrative with a local paper that covers the issues the community needs to hear about.
