  • Bill Resnick Interviews organizer Joanna Misnick on electoral politics and what is to be done.
  • In a 5-4 decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled against the state of California in NIFLA v. Becerra, a case pitting crisis pregnancy centers run by anti-abortion activists against a California law requiring medical license disclosures and information on where to obtain free abortions in the state. Frann Michel looks at this decision as “It reflects longstanding organizing by the patriarchal religious right, and it is also racist and a gift to capital power.”

Katie Behrendt is a member of Portland Rising Tide and has been involved in the fight against expanding fossil fuel infrastructure for the past 4 years.
