Ep. 26   Gloria Allred

"One of the best attorneys in America"  - President Barack Obama.

A  fearless advocate for civil rights and fighting for injustice for 45 years. Gloria Allred is the high profile, outspoken, at times outrageous advocate for women and those whose civil rights have been transgressed. She's been forcefully advocating gay rights since the 1970's. Aids discrimination, marriage equality, transgender rights - she's been successfully defending victims for nearly 50 years. Still doing it. 

When a high profile story breaks featuring allegations of sexual misconduct against celebrated men, her name is often not far behind. Through her clients she's taking on Roman Polanski, Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, R Kelly and Donald Trump, to name a few. She's probably one of the very few people they fear.

She's one of the most prominent civil rights lawyers in America today. Her goal is to bring women into the mainstream of American life in each and every aspect of life in equal partnership with men. 

Gloria Allred has helped create cultural shifts.

A recently inducted member of the American National Women's Hall of Fame and the subject of a hugely successful Netflix documentary, 'Seeing Allred'. 

We have a lot to thank her for.
