WHAT WE'RE READING // What Abortion Access Looks Like in Mississippi: One Person at a Time by Zoë Beery

|
With the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v Wade through upholding Mississippi's abortion ban, this article gives some context on the impact of this ban in Mississippi, particularly on poor women and women of color, and highlights the work of the Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund, a grassroots organization offering financial assistance and support help women access abortions in Mississippi.

WHO WE'RE LISTENING TO // 5-4 Podcast
|
|
As the Supreme Court considers Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, we're reflecting on a question Justice Sonia Sotomayor's posed: "Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?" The 5-4 Podcast takes on this question and how the law has been shaped by politics, and how in many ways the system is severely broken. It's a thought-provoking and informative listen, and if you, like us, are feeling really frustrated and angry at the moment we're in, this podcast won't make you feel better, but it'll help you better understand how we got here. |
WHO WE'RE LISTENING TO // T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo
|
Compiled by label boss and DJ Miles Cleret, the tracks in this album span the most productive period in the Benin based band's history. This collection includes a mixture of 1970's Afro-funk as well as Afro-Latin and Cuban influences. All we can say is: get your dancing shoes ready! |
