Soulection Radio Show #279 ft. Dave B

At the end of March, Congress passed a bill allowing states to deny funding to family planning groups that offer abortion services - groups like Planned Parenthood.  Now, Pennsylvania and Michigan have introduced legislation to join over a dozen states in doing just that.  

As we fight off right wing attacks on abortion rights, Loretta Ross asks us to consider what it would take to have real choices about our bodies.

On this week's Making Contact, Loretta Ross, co-founder of SisterSong breaks down the reproductive justice framework; and Tina Reynolds, co-founder and Chair of Women on the Rise Telling HerStory, shares how a group of formerly incarcerated women came together to fight for the right to give birth to and raise children in healthy and safe environments.

Beyond Choice: Organizing for Reproductive Justice

In this edition of Making Contact, we look at how workers are organizing outside of labor unions and where traditional labor could be headed.

President Juan Orlando Hernandez won another term to lead Honduras Sunday. Amid protests and accusations of fraud, the country’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal announced Hernandez the winner of the Presidential election. Now the Organization of American States is calling for a repetition of the vote, but observers say with US support it’s unlikely Hernandez will cease power.

Thousands of people are sheltering throughout the Northern CA region, after evacuating the Glass Fire - with family or friends, in RVs or cars, at hotels or County run shelters. But there are less people in shelters this year compared to past years, as County emergency services have coordinated hotel rooms for many people, to reduce COVID risks – but there are some still waiting it out there.  KPFA’s Corinne Smith visited several shelters and talked with people about their evacuation experience.

More than one in four youth incarcerated by California’s Division of Juvenile Justice have tested positive for COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. Kids, advocates and some staff are raising alarm about lack of protections, and demanding better protocols to prevent more outbreaks.

This story first aired on UpFront, KPFA's morning public affairs program, on February 8, 2021: https://kpfa.org/episode/upfront-february-8-2021/.
