THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST, The recent Texas anti-abortion law – which bans abortions after 6 weeks and deputizes citizens to turn people in – is just the latest action towards hollowing out or dismantling Roe vs Wade. But opponents have been chipping away at availability and access to legal abortion in the US for years. In this powerful documentary segment, Charlotte Landes of Making Contact looks back at the early ’70s when abortion was still illegal and a radical collective in Chicago – nicknamed ‘The Janes’ – took abortions into their own hands. We’ll hear their voices from the Stanford Storytelling Project.
AND ... As organizers or activists we’ve all been in those meetings – the ones where we need to make decisions as a group or vision a larger goal. In our complex world, facilitation and mediation skills are as important for individuals as they are for organizations. How do we practice them in ways that align with nature, with pleasure, with our best imagining of our future? Lynn talks to author and visionary thinker adrienne maree brown about her recent book
Holding Change: The Way of Emergent Strategy Facilitation and Mediation – it centers Black feminists, with skills and wisdom for any of us working to create changes in our world.
