State of the United Front Against MAGA, w/ Loan Tran


Listen Later

We’re just a few days out from Election Day, so this episode covers a lot of ground. First we hear from Dusti Gurule, President and CEO of COLOR Latina. Dusti and COLOR are front and center in the campaign to pass Colorado's Amendment 79, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution and remove a major barrier to accessing those rights by allowing public funds to pay for abortion services. Then we're joined by Rising Majority National Director Loan Tran, back to check in on the state of the united front against MAGA as we go into election week. And we have another report from the doors, this one from Ellie, a canvasser with Essie Justice Group, which works to harness the collective power of women with incarcerated loved ones to end mass incarceration's harm to women and communities.
