In brief: Y’alllllllll! I’m an unapologetic fangirl of this week’s guest who I am humbled and privileged to call my friend. Amelia Bonow is the co-founder of the Facebook post turned movement Shout Your Abortion. She’s back on the show to talk about SYA THE BOOK! (GET IT) which encapsulates so much of what’s needed right now at this moment in our culture and very near future. We get real about abortion access and efforts for harm reduction as clinics continue to close and legislators continue to affirm anti-abortion, anti-agency, anti-healthcare Supreme Court justices.

Tune in to find out how you can be a part of SYA and the broader reproductive justice work happening RIGHT NOW to prepare for what’s coming.
