Lady Liberty is V.E.R.Y. Pissed!

Lady Liberty is V.E.R.Y.* Pissed" Podcast awakens American women to the imminent loss of their reproductive rights and voting rights, and to the lack of women’s equal rights in the U.S. Constitution. When the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade this June – which now we know they will – we will find our liberties very much in peril. Our purpose is to educate listeners about how our reproductive rights, voting rights, and civil rights are linked, and how to rise up and fight strategically for women's equality. Join us and millions of others to protect these inalienable rights in the crucial midterm election year -- and save our democracy!
