The Defenders
On Friday, June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, it’s been a barrage of bad news and bleak headlines. But for every restriction, there are many more acts of resistance and a growing network of activists, clinic workers, faith leaders, and everyday people working to expand access to care. This is the story of the fight for freedom in a post-Roe America, co-hosted by Samantha Bee and Gloria Riviera. Whether you’re deep in this fight already or just sick of feeling hopeless, we’re here to tell you anyone can become a defender.
