Rashanah revisits a conversation with Oren Jacobson, Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director of Men4Choice. Men4Choice organizes male allies in the fight for reproductive freedom in support of the leaders of this movement – which are the women and individuals impacted by the anti-abortion movement’s constant and growing attacks.
In this present time of November 2021, the supreme court is considering cases regarding states like Texas and Mississippi that are opposing Roe vs. Wade, in some states making abortion illegal after 6 weeks of pregnancy.
This conversation is just as relevant as it was a year ago when Rashanah chatted with Oren about the need to vote in all elections, especially in local elections, and how he is organizing here in Chicago and beyond for residents to use this voice to vote.
The phrase “Vote Like Your Life Depends On It” rings loudly and consistently during these uncertain times in our world. The then 2020 presidential election became "one for the history books" as it was an extreme battle between political parties that seemed to get muddy and gritty during their presidential debates and campaign rallies. Rashanah gets in-depth with Oren Jacobson, Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director of Men4Choice, on why the millennial generation & generation Z need to show up in full force at the polls, the importance of local elections, consistency in voting during all election cycles, accountability with police reform, impacting policy, using your vote to voice for your concerns, women’s reproduction rights, plus more!
Oren Jacobson is a civic entrepreneur, organizer, thought leader, and consultant focused on helping communities and organizations build the strength and capacity necessary to drive tangible systemic progress.
