U.S. Part 1: Storytelling, Conversation & Community
Manage episode 446625805 series 3595662
If it’s policy change we want, narrative change is the tool. In this episode, we are highlighting stories of people in the United States who are being harmed by restrictive abortion laws, and how storytelling can be the spark that creates change. Joining the conversation are Green Wave leaders who are bringing the movement to the U.S. - Colombian-American filmmaker, author and activist Paola Mendoza, who is catalyzing the movement through storytelling, specifically with her new short film “Romina”; Danielle Rodriguez, the Georgia Coordinator at at Sistersong who explains how reproductive restrictions in the U.S. have been harming Black and Brown women for generations including her own family; and Ximena Casas, our resident Green Wave expert and feminist lawyer who shares how her own upbringing in Colombia shaped her lifelong desire to advocate for abortion rights. As Ximena often reminds us, the Green Wave has many different tones where each of us can play a role in the fight for bodily autonomy, especially when we build community with one another.
