What the hell is up, stars? What a magical time to be a woman... Am I right? You can get a tinder date in 2 seconds flat any night of the week yet your right to bodily autonomy and reproductive decision making may be on the brink of loss. On May 3, I headed into the streets with my chosen family to protest the Supreme Court's potential overturning of Roe vs. Wade. I know you've already heard about this by now, but I'm here to ask what the hell is up with the green wave? This movement to color a nation with green became a symbol across Latin America, and now its our turn to become a wave of green for abortion rights. In today's episode, you'll hear from Margo Heights, leader of Seattle's Rise Up 4 Abortion. You'll also hear the protest BANGER "Fuck You Brett Kavanaugh" by Seattle riot band Queen Chimera. Listen in stars, this ones important.
