    Introducing Green Tide Rising
    2024/09/05
    GREEN TIDE RISING (GTR) is an eight-episode audio and video series that spotlights Latin America's Green Wave movement and how it's shaping some of the most progressive abortion policies in the world, while asking the question: what can those of us fighting for reproductive freedoms in the U.S. learn from their iconic leadership? Through the eyes of feminist lawyer and reproductive rights advocate Ximena Casas Isaza, we meet the people who have turned the fight for reproductive justice in Latin America into a powerful, modern feminist movement - from the tip of Argentina all the way to Colombia and beyond. Hosted by Monica Morales Garcia and Asha Dahya, Green Tide Rising positions the Global South as a beacon of hope and a reminder of what’s at stake for the Global North if we don't act now. Learn more about how you can join the movement by following us on social media @greentiderising, and watch our accompanying video series ‘Entonces’ on Youtube. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

  • ARGENTINA - Birthplace of the Green Wave (English)

    ARGENTINA - Birthplace of the Green Wave (English)
    2024/09/12
    Our series begins in Buenos Aires, the birthplace of the Green Wave. In 2020, Argentina achieved a milestone by legalizing abortion up to 14 weeks. But a new right-wing president could potentially jeopardize this progress. We meet feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who represented Belén, a woman who was imprisoned for an obstetric emergency and whose story catalyzed what would become an international movement; and we speak with Marta Alaniz, the founder of the Argentina chapter Catolica por el Derecho de Decidir (Catholics for the Right to Decide). Marta, a Green Wave icon, recounts how the green scarf became the symbol of the movement: “how much can be said without saying anything at all?” As the Green Wave reaches the shores of the US in a perilous time for reproductive freedom, our resident expert and feminist lawyer Ximena Casas explains that what Argentina has achieved, and what the Green Wave continues to do, can serve as both a warning and a blueprint for success for Americans invested in the fight to protect our bodily autonomy.

  • EL SALVADOR - No Exceptions (Bilingual)

    EL SALVADOR - No Exceptions (Bilingual)
    2024/09/19
    In episode two, we journey to El Salvador, a country described by the United Nations as one of the most dangerous places in the world for women. El Salvador has a total ban on abortion, and as a result, women are being jailed for suspected abortions, stillbirths, and miscarriages.This week, we meet Teodora Vasquez, a woman who experienced an obstetric emergency late into her pregnancy while at work. She called 911.They never came. Instead, the authorities showed up late, and accused her of trying to end her own pregnancy. Teodora was one of the first 17 women incarcerated for obstetric emergencies and sentenced to 30 to 40 years in prison. But when Teodora was released, she was determined to create a better life for herself and the women who came after. As the founder of a grassroots organization called Mujeres Libres, Teodora’s story shows us why we should never give up the fight - even in the face of totalitarianism, and how when you band together with aligned activists - you can make a difference.

  • Latinidad, Sex and Sexuality

    Latinidad, Sex and Sexuality
    2024/09/26
    In this episode we’re connecting the dots between abortion rights, bodily autonomy and sexual liberation. Because you know what we almost never talk about when we talk about abortion? Sex! Artist, organizer and abortion storyteller Favianna Rodriguez shares her journey toward sexual liberation, an intimate story of how her self-managed abortion allowed her to face generational trauma, and why dismantling gender stereotypes around sexuality has become part of her life’s work. Berkeley professor and author Juana Maria Rodriguez takes us through a fascinating history of sex workers in Mexico and Cuba, and how they pushed for social and political change around the “good women vs bad women” tropes. Mindy Jane Roseman, who directs the programs for global justice and women's rights at Yale Law School, explains the history of the Comstock Act, how it connects to the patriarchal “morality” precedent, and how it is being resurrected today in the Republican push to ban medication abortion (and birth control!).

    COLOMBIA - From Three Exceptions to Decriminalization (Bilingual)
    2024/10/03
    The Green Wave picks up momentum in Colombia, when in 2022, the country went from having only three exceptions to the abortion to decriminalizing abortion on all grounds up to 24 weeks of pregnancy - one of the most progressive abortion policies in the world. This all happened in the same year the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, where it had been the law of the land for nearly 50 years. How did they manage this? Our guests include communications expert Carolina Dueñas and lawyer Mariana Ardila who made history with the organization Women’s Link Worldwide. Women’s Link played a pivotal role in the iconic Causa Justa movement as the organization who filed the case that would decriminalize abortion. The duo share the story of how they initially began working on this issue in 2006, and eventually took the case to the Constitutional Court of Columbia, in the midst of a global pandemic. This was a modern day movement at its finest, that took years in the making. Our resident Green Wave expert and native Colombian, Ximena Casas shares the strategy behind Colombia’s success and the biggest differences between Latin America’s progress and the fight for reproductive rights in the U.S. Visit greentiderising.com to learn more about the series, watch our accompanying Youtube video series ‘Entonces’, and find out how you can join the movement by following us on social media @greentiderising.
