In the ongoing and unbelievably still relevant fight for women to have the right to control what happens to their own bodies, we honor those who have successfully fought this fight, like the incredible, Merle Hoffman. Her organization, CHOICES, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in Queens, New York having led the charge in the fight for women’s rights, and facilitating safe, compassionate, and confidential reproductive healthcare. Her work in the US and across the globe has been unrelenting and continues stronger than ever today, as our country once again faces an influx of politicians wanting to control women’s bodies. Merle Hoffman proves to be more essential and relevant than ever in this ongoing fight for women’s human rights and we couldn’t be happier to have her as a guest on the show.
And don’t forget: Vote.org, Vote.org, Vote.org! Get registered to vote if you’re not already and register your family, friends, neighbors, doctor, grocery store clerk, that twice removed cousin you only see once a year during the holidays. You can even help them figure out where they're nearest voting location is and when they can vote! Don’t be one of the 101 Million Americans who didn’t vote in 2020.
