This week with co-hosts Lynn Harris Ballen & Karina Elias : In this moment when even the future of Roe v Wade may be up in the air … the new season of CHOICE/LESS – the podcast from Rewire.News – takes a look at how current laws affects the reproductive and sexual lives of teens. We’re joined by host Jenn Stanley to hear about the untold stories of abortion access for teenagers – how parental notification laws work, how sex education is all but banned in schools, and the real-world impact.
AND … What does it take to cycle thousands of miles into the unknown? Mary Ann Thomas is the brown queer daughter of Indian immigrant parents, and in 2017 she biked across India from the Himalayas to Kerala, where her parents are from. From that journey she co-wrote ‘Asking for Elephants’, a chapbook of photos and stories. And she joins us to tell us about her upcoming book event at BOOK SHOW in LA. And about why she’s working to create a more inclusive bicycling and outdoors community for women and POC, and how the gift of queerness helps her create new possibilities.
PLUS … As we go into the 2018 midterm election season, we’ve got a lot of unknowns to think about. What can we expect to change this time around? Will there be more political upsets, like we’ve seen during the Democratic primaries in New York with the ascendancy of first-timer Alexandria Ocasio Cortez? One thing’s for sure: this year, more women, especially women of color, are running for public office than have ever before. Soleil Ho from Popaganda talks to Erin Vilardi, the founder and CEO of VoteRunLead, an organization that trains women to run for office.
