Hanging On to a Future Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

Well, here we are. We're on the other side of what we've been talking about for years. Roe v. Wade has been struck down, and for the first time in our lifetime, abortion is no longer protected.

In our first episode, Kate and Jamia talk to folks who've been living, and working, and surviving, in a state where abortion access has been under fire for years, even before Roe fell -- Kentucky.

Show notes

Listen to The Accidental Activist wherever you get your podcasts.

Alyssa Milano has been on our screens for decades. But she’s also been on the front lines championing the issues she believes in for just as long. Her roles on Who's the Boss?, Melrose Place, and Charmed are as iconic as her activism. While most of us choose one cause, Alyssa has dedicated herself to many. In this episode, Alyssa shares the origin story of her activism, how love propels us, and how to face the critics.

Ordinary Equality x Womanica: Molly Brant (Degonwadonti) Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

For our first episode of the Ordinary Equality x Womanica crossover season, we’re going way back—more than 100 years before the Equal Rights Amendment even existed—to learn about one of the most important figures of the Revolutionary War. She was an indigenous political leader whose absence from this country’s framing documents set the stage for the fight for the ERA more than a century later.

Join host Kate Kelly and Dr. Kahente Horn-Miller, a Kanien:keha’ka teacher, researcher and performer, as they take us through the story of Molly Brant (1736 - 1796), also known as Degonwadonti.

Coming Soon: Ordinary Equality x Womanica Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

On Ordinary Equality, we’ve talked about abortion rights crusaders and women’s rights activists – people putting everything on the line to make our society more just. We're so excited to continue that work on a brand new season, this time, in collaboration with Womanica, another podcast from Wonder Media Network.

Host Kate Kelly has a new book out—also called Ordinary Equality— and we’ll be exploring the lives of four women from the book who had a hand in the fight for constitutional equality and the Equal Rights Amendment. From Haudenosaunee territory in Upstate New York, to modern-day Las Vegas, join us as we learn about the people behind the amendment– and why, after all these years, we’re still fighting to get it into the U.S. Constitution.

Order the book now, and listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Bonus: What’s at Stake: Roe v. Wade Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

One of the most historic cases in the fight for reproductive justice was founded on the “penumbra” of cases that came before it--and it’s still one of the cornerstones of abortion law today.
