Ordinary Equality

The Battle for Birth Control


Listen Later

As we gear up for election season, it's safe to say that the abortion access is going to be top of mind. But what do refrains of "Vote! Vote for me!" mean, when it feels like no one is willing to go to bat for reproductive justice? 

This week, Jamia and Kate listen in as Ordinary Equality's executive producer, Jenny Kaplan chats with her connection on the Hill: her mom, Rep. Kathy Manning. Jenny and Rep. Manning pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to engineer a Congressional response to attacks on healthcare. 

If you’re looking to take action in the fight for access to reproductive care, head to ActBlue’s directory to donate directly to reproductive justice groups and abortion funds across the country. ActBlue’s online fundraising platform is designed to support you as you support others, which is why they’re trusted by the millions of small-dollar donors who are driving meaningful, people-powered change. So check out ActBlue's directory, and follow @ActBlue on Twitter!
