March 01, 2022 Introducing: The Caregiving Crisis feat. White Picket Fence
In this new season of Women belong in the House, we’re examining America’s caregiving crisis. After years of a pandemic that disproportionately affected women, Congress is still working to pass legislation that would address some of our most pressing needs.
To dive into the care economy, host Jenny Kaplan is teaming up with another Wonder Media Network original podcast, White Picket Fence, and its host, Julie Kohler.
Jenny’s going to talk to the women in the House that are championing legislation that – if we could get it passed – would transform American families.
Women Belong in the House is created by Jenny Kaplan. It’s produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley and Taylor Williamson. Original music by Miles Moran. Special thanks to Julie Kohler.

In light of what's happening at the Supreme Court right now, we're bringing you another show from Wonder Media Network that you need to listen to: Ordinary Equality. When the anti-choice movement couldn’t stop individuals from choosing to get an abortion, they turned to the next biggest roadblock--the abortion providers themselves. Today, hosts Kate Kelly and Jamia Wilson are talking all about TRAP laws. How did the anti-choice movement work around Roe v. Wade? How did these laws create a systemic, legal attack on abortion access? And why are even more being passed today?

In light of what's happening at the Supreme Court right now, we're bringing you another show from Wonder Media Network that you need to listen to: Ordinary Equality. In 1994, twelve Black women gathered together in a room and redefined the movement for reproductive freedom--they focused on an intersectional freedom, built an entirely new framework, and called it Reproductive Justice. Today, hosts Jamia Wilson and Kate Kelly take us through the history of the Reproductive Justice movement and the work it’s doing in a system that has ignored the needs of Black women for far too long.
