The SCOTUS Marches
On May 2, 2022, Politico published a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade and thereby reopen the door to abortion bans in the United States. Across the country, activists immediately took to the streets. In this episode, host Jay Ulfelder talks with two of the people at the heart of the DC-area actions about the what, how, and why of their protests, and about the nature and intensity of the backlash they received.
About this week's guests
Rune, they/them, is an activist in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. They are engaged in communities fighting for trans and reproductive rights and continue to educate themself on every intersection in the movement for liberation.
Nadine Seiler, she/her, has fought for countless causes, including the current Palestinian liberation struggle. She is a t-shirt designer and former home organizer who began protesting at the Women's March in 2017 and then continued consistently at the White House from 2018. In 2020, Seiler became a self-appointed curator, guardian, and archivist of the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence at DC's Lafayette Square and has since brought together a team of archivists dedicated to ensuring that it will survive as a collective artifact from those historic racial justice protests. Her efforts and work have been covered by The Washington Post, DigDC Oral History Collaborative, and various other publications.
About the Show
The Nonviolent Action Lab Podcast brings you the latest research, insights, and ideas on how nonviolent action can — or sometimes fails — to transform injustice. Each week we welcome experts from the field, scholars, organizers, and advocates to discuss nonviolent movements around the world.
About the Lab
Nonviolent resistance movements defended democratic values and institutions throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. However, the trend seems to have shifted. Over the past decade, authoritarian backsliding has occurred across the globe and mass movements demanding democracy have been defeated in about 90% of cases since 2010.
The Nonviolent Action Lab, led by Professor Erica Chenoweth and housed at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, is an innovation hub for activists, researchers, and supporters who share common goals around defending and advancing democracy worldwide through nonviolent movements.
