Description

To start I would like to issue a trigger warning. In this episode myself and my guests talk about sexual harassment and sexual assault. If these are triggers for you, please feel free to skip this episode.  This episode was recorded less than 24 hours after Justice Alito’s draft opinion indicating the Court was going to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked by Politico. I sat down with Rebecca Cokley, a program officer at the Ford Foundation, and Bekah Bailey, a disability rights advocate, to talk about how we feel in the moment, how this decision impacts the little person community, and the ways in which the community can and should step up to support its members.
