Hello, and welcome to today's episode.

We're speaking with Kaitlyn and Erika from the US, and Claire from Ireland, about advocacy for TFMR (and abortion).

Unless you have been on the moon (!) for the last 12 months, there's a US election about to be decided on the 5th November, and women's reproductive rights is a key issue.

Kaitlyn and Erika tell us about their experiences with advocacy within the US. How and why they are doing it and how they are holding up. We hear from Claire about the formation of TFMR Ireland, their key part in winning the right to a referendum on Ireland's restrictive abortion laws, and then going on and winning that referendum, changing Ireland's laws on abortion.

These are three brilliant women, who out of trauma and grief are using their pain as power. 

As always, listen to your gut on choosing to listen to this episode. If you know us, you know we don't shy away from hard truths and direct language.

You know we love to hear from you, so please get in touch and let us know what you think of this episode.
