Snack 53: Family Equality & Advocacy — What Happened in US Family Building Law in 2022?


Listen Later

Shelbi Day and Rebecca Willman are back with Anne and Ruby for this short snack about family advocacy. Some BIG changes happened in United States law in 2022: The Dobbs decision (aka the reversal of Roe v Wade overturning the federal right to abortion), the many state-level laws that followed, and The Respect for Marriage Act.

Trying to understand how all of this affects family building can be confusing and overwhelming. Shelbi and Rebecca break down the details of the most influential laws of 2022, discuss what to expect going forward, and challenge all of us to become advocates for family building equality.

Their passion is inspiring, and they give actionable steps anyone can take to make a difference — for reproductive and family building rights and for LGBTQ+ families, community, and youth.

Shelbi and Rebecca (and Ruby and Anne!) urge you to pay attention, get involved, and show up for one another and for marginalized communities.

Be sure to listen to the full episode with Shelbi and Rebecca where they talk about what makes a family and share their own stories.
