After two consecutive weekends of hate groups showing up in downtown Nashville, host Grace Fuisz sits down with State Senator Heidi Campbell to understand why it feels like we are being targeted. What makes our city such an attractive place for neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and Christian nationalists to demonstrate? What is Christian nationalism, and who is fueling that movement? And if these far-right groups consider Nashville to be “the tip of the spear” for their ideologies, what are the potential implications for our city — as well as for our state, our country, and democracy on a global scale?

Early voting for the August 1 primary election is open now through July 27.
