THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … Abortion beyond clinics? With many states likely to lose the constitutional protection of Roe v Wade after this week’s SCOTUS hearing, we look at what things were like before Roe and at the current at-home abortion movement. In this powerful documentary segment, Charlotte Landes of Making Contact looks back at the early ’70s when a radical collective in Chicago – nicknamed ‘The Janes’ – took abortions into their own hands. And, Linci Comy of Woman’s Choice Clinic and Nina Liss-Schultz of Mother Jones Magazine discuss how people keep finding ways to make this vital procedure accessible.
AND … Angela Y. Davis talks Abolition Feminism … ” Prison abolition needs Feminism, it needs anti-racist, anti-capitalist Feminism … ” –
Amid national outrage over the police killing of George Floyd in 2020, the movement to “defund the police” became a rallying cry to reimagine our approach to public safety. We hear from Angela Y. Davis and other renowned scholars about how we can build a global movement to spark lasting change, dismantle oppressive systems and the shared strategies an internationalist movement needs to to abolish policing and prisons.
Featuring: Angela Y. Davis, Lorgia García Peña, Medhin Paolos, and Leti Volpp. Moderated by Makani Themba.
