Can I Live?: The Intro

Southern Synergy is sponsored by ARC-Southeast, a Black-led abortion fund in the Southeast, and hosted by filmmaker and organizer Duke Virginia. More than just another podcast, it’s a multimedia mixtape—and a call to action.
At ARC we believe that because Southern Synergy centers the reproductive lives and resistance of folks throughout the South. We explore rich legacies of organizing, and go beyond the surface-level to confront fundamental questions: What does it mean to have autonomy? What are the barriers that stand in the way of our human rights? What makes the South unique? Who benefits from these abortion bans? What does community organizing in practice look like?
