FM Sept 7: To Aid&Abet: Writers for Abortion /Seeking Shelter: LGBTQ Elder Housing

THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen ::  FIRST … We hear about TO AID & ABET: A Reading and Fundraiser for Abortion Access – an afternoon of poetry and storytelling dedicated to uplifting community voices protesting the recent overturn of Roe V. Wade.
Hosted by Shout Your Abortion at Beyond Baroque on September 11, 2022.
FemMag contributor Sehba Sarwar serves on the event committee and she talks to writer and organizer Suhasini Yeeda who instigated the event.  They’re joined by two of the other fabulous 
participating writers, Alicia Vogl Sáenz and Pam Ward, in a passionate conversation about the urgency of organizing and support for reproductive rights.
Tickets available here (no one turned away for lack of funds).  All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to Shout Your Abortion!
THEN … Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender seniors are much more likely than their straight counterparts to be alone and isolated as they age. Housing and support for these elders is a growing need–and the issue is not confined to the United States. In this segment from Making Contact, we’ll visit Jakarta Indonesia, and Los Angeles, California, to hear stories of building housing and community for LGBTQ seniors.

Wednesday at 7 on KPFK
Podcast on Spotify, Apple & GooglePlay
