#8, Interview with Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Exec Dir. of The Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice
In this episode of Conversations for Equal Pay , we sit down with Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis , Executive Director of the Kairos Center and Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign.The struggle for equal pay is often framed as a simple math problem or an "unavoidable" economic reality. Rev. Dr. Theoharis challenges us to see it for what it truly is: a moral crisis and a violation of fundamental human rights. In this episode, we dive deep into: The "Moral Revival": Why the wage gap for women of color is a symptom of a deeper spiritual and systemic sickness in America. The Leadership of the Impacted: How the movement changes when poor and low-income women of color—those most affected—are the ones leading the strategy. The 5 Interlocking Evils: How systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism, and the distorted moral narrative work together to keep wages low. Tune in now to learn why we CAN afford to pay a living wage—and why we can no longer afford the cost of inequality. Connect with Rev.
