We don't mince words. This episode might feel different than others that we've created. There just isn't really a middle ground on this issue, so there also isn't really in this episode. But right now, we have a platform, we have some knowledge, and we know if we feel sad, overwhelmed, and helpless, you probably do too.
Some of our longest show notes yet:
- We recorded this in a kind of "911 what can we do" the day that the US Supreme Court struck down Roe v Wade. Thank you in advance for your grace on anything we got wrong OR that changes after our recording of this episode. We felt the urgency of getting it up was far more important than waiting to see things shift.
- Sample letter to write to your elected official: https://www.arcc-cdac.ca/sample-letter/ (and how to find your MP's stance here: https://www.arcc-cdac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/anti-choice-unknown-MPs-2016.pdf) *NOTE: wherever possible, add in your own personal experiences and stories. Even changing small parts of the form letter means that your letter will require a personal reply rather than a form letter. This is a good thing!
- Organizations we mentioned to donate to & support in whatever ways you can: https://abortionfunds.org/ & https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pOdOC1EuyIu5l8IZtKO2JADVfwTxnl96EmBV68EHsXc/mobilebasic.
- Please note - yes, pressuring the government is important. AND we can't just sit back and hope any more. Action - in whatever capacity you have the bandwidth for - is what will create change.
Thank you for caring. And more than ever, we ask you to please please share our work. Thank you for being here, for joining us, and for taking whatever action you can.
