Special Episode: Raumesh Akbari Prepares For More Landmark Fights in Tennessee

 

In the second part of a special mini-series on the far-reaching consequences of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, host and NewDEAL Leader Ryan Coonerty talks with fellow NewDEALer Raumesh Akbari, state senator from Memphis, TN, about the pending difficulties that await women of color throughout Southern states. Senator Akbari shares what individuals in blue states can do to support those in states with abortion bans and other restrictions on reproductive rights, and what other issues could become political battlegrounds due to future Supreme Court action.

Listen back to both episodes in this mini-series highlighting the state and local fight happening in the post-Roe v. Wade world, and please make sure to make your voice heard at the ballot box this year in support of all of our state and local leaders!
