Hi all! In today’s episode, Casey and Anjali cover the recent Supreme Court decisions on abortion, guns, and the EPA. We also discuss the Court as an institution—perhaps the most powerful of the United States—and what exactly has contributed to its power. We’re angry, upset, and unfiltered. If you have any comments, we’d love to discuss via Instagram.

We’d also like to emphasize that we only scratched the surface on SCOTUS and their decisions. We highly recommend the podcasts Strict Scrutiny for legal analysis and The Daily constant updates.

Anjali referred to Strict Scrutiny and their analysis several times throughout the episode, and both Casey and Anjali cited the New York Times.

Hi everyone! In this episode, Casey and Anjali host Anoushka Chander, a changemaker and gun control activist from Washington DC, to discuss the devastating school shooting that took place in Uvalde, Texas on May 24. We discuss guns in relation to mental health, underlying issues with gun violence, gun control, and gun violence prevention.

Resources/call for action: everytown.org, theeverymom.com, calling your state, county, and town representatives, community organizing, educating yourself and others, and having meaningful conversations.

Corrections: It was implied that Greg Abbott attended the NRA convention, but he did not. Attendees included Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. It was also mentioned that the United States has the highest rates of gun violence, but this should be qualified to the highest rates among wealthy nations.
