Roe Has Fallen: What Do We Do Now with Moji of @abortionfront - Ep. 45

07/01/22 • 114 min

TW: abortion, sexual assault/rape, suicide (time stamp: 50:56-52:20), abortion ban impacts on BIPOC folks, white saviorism (time stamp: 1:03-1:04)

This week we have an essential and educational conversation with the phenomenal Moji of @abortionfront . On 06/24/22, The US Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade, revoking the fundamental right to abortion. Firstly, I want to let you all know that I unequivocally stand against the SCOTUS ruling and will do whatever I can to stand for the right to choose and fight for people with uteruses to maintain their bodily autonomy.

First off, this episode is CLEAN. We have chose to remove all curse words/bleep them out so that this episode can be more widely distributed. Second, this episode was recorded on 06/25/22. There has been more updated information since we recorded this episode, but we were working with the information we had.

Third, we were lucky enough to have Moji and Marie on episode 33 of the podcast, so this is, in a way, a part 2 to that episode.

Moji and I wanted to sit down and have a conversation addressing this SCOTUS ruling and where we go from here. The first chunk of this conversation is Moji and I speaking about how we, as people with uteruses, have processed this decision. Please cope however you feel you need to. The second part of our conversation centers on what our reality is now that Roe has fallen. We aimed to have this conversation be productive, educational, and upfront.

We also mention quite a few resources throughout this episode for both people who need abortion care and for those who want to support and fund the reproductive rights movement. Moji works for Abortion Access Front (@abortionfront on ALL platforms). Our missing friend Marie also works for Midwest Access Coalition (@midwest_access_coalition), which is a practical access fund that funds travel costs, food, childcare, etc. for people needing to travel to an abortion. Lastly, Marie, Moji, & Lizz Winstead host Feminist Buzzkills Live Pod, which is a podcast centering on abortion in an honest and practical way (releases every Friday night).

We also mentioned ineedana.com . This platform is used for people to locate clinics that can provide abortion care for you at your point in your pregnancy.

LASTLY! I have made a huge master doc with ALL things abortion including resources for people seeking an abortion, looking to learn more, and looking to support/fund abortion care etc etc etc! Link here!

Unpacking Masculinity: How Socialization Plays into Human Trafficking - Ep. 46

TW: human trafficking, familial trafficking, toxic masculinity, harm done by men, sexual assault/abuse, trauma, coercion

*DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded in July, and since then, The Lantern Project has announced that they are closing their doors and George has transitioned out of his role in the organization. The organization is passing it’s programs onto other organizations and this information and content is still so important to talk about! But regarding resources, I have added some resources provided by the Lantern Project to continue learning and to continue the movement to stop human trafficking!*

This week we have George Treml (he/him), a former staff member at The Lantern Project in Seattle on to talk about human trafficking and how socialization plays into it. George is the former Men’s Education Program Coordinator at The Lantern Project, which centers on education and prevention to help end sexual exploitation and trafficking.

George and I talk about how the root problems of privilege, masculinity, lopsided power dynamics, and even a lack of consent/sexual education play into human trafficking and its continued harm. This conversation is a lot different from previous podcast episodes, considering it centers on the male perspective and addresses how toxic masculinity and the patriarchy has harmed men as well. This podcast has centered 90% of its episodes on women & non-binary individuals, but I think this perspective sheds light on a very real problem that needs to be talked about!

If you want to find more educational resources regarding human trafficking, you can check out, “Making of a girl” on YouTube. You can also find more human trafficking resources at: Washington Trafficking Prevention, World Without Exploitation Youth Coalition, Af3irm Seattle, and Youth Against Sexual Violence. You can find the blog posts I wrote for the Lantern Project at my LP Archive on my website.
