7:31Now PlayingAs we continue our live broadcast from Ferguson, Missouri, we speak with Michael McBride, pastor of The Way Christian Center in Berkeley, California. He is also national director of the Lifelines for Healing Communities Campaign, part of People Improving Community through Organizing, or PICO, the largest faithbased network of community organizing in the country. McBride has been in Ferguson working with young people as a peacekeeper, and supporting their acts of civil disobedience. He says the protesters are “practicing the legacy of civil rights and resistance” in the United States. “People wondering why folks are so outraged? Because we have children,” McBride says. “What parent would not be outraged that their children are being killed by people who we pay with our tax dollars?”
