Feminist Buzzkills

Full episode transcript HERE.

First off, we love you and know you are feeling lost, afraid and targeted. You are not alone.

We’re gonna be real with you: we had a whole post-election breakdown planned with results and analysis and blah blah FUCK ALL THAT. Instead, we wanted to sit down with you, unscripted and real, offering a pod that holds space for your feelings and give you a start to regroup.

AAF OGs Kristin Hady (Programs Director and resident Extremist Whisperer) and Cara McLane (Director of Communications and AAF Adventure Planner), PLUS the brilliant journalist Jessica Valenti.

We’re leaning into our raw honesty in this moment, finding the hope, and sharing actions you can take RIGHT NOW that will keep your head out of the doomscroll and into community so we can help each other out in these terrifying times.

Jessica Valenti is our North Star! She’s the author of the NYT bestseller Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win and of the acclaimed newsletter Abortion, Every Day. Jessica breaks down what these election results mean for our rights in her classic real AF style–plus, she offers us an important reminder of why we fight and why hope is very much alive.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
