When people work together, they can do amazing things. In fact, if we think about it, we’ll realize that most of our best moments have come from working with other people. We don’t need superheroes or superpowers. We just need each other.
However, we often find that abuse, betrayal, and injustice are becoming even more common in our society— the people we love being the foremost to break our trust.
Leigh Taylor Dunbas is a powerful advocate for change. She founded Freedom Fighter Nation with the goal to protect human rights. She believes that we all have something unique in us that can create change. And if we don’t speak up, we’re betraying not only the world but ourselves. That’s why she calls, “Rise Up!”.
Join Fred and Leigh as they discuss how our upbringing affects our ability to perceive the realities of our society, what she learned as she enters dangerous territories, the ugly realities of communism, what breaks a man, what motivated her to stand up against tyranny, why we should be careful about what we believe, and what we can do to create change.
