1:07:48Now PlayingToday the Supreme Court issued their opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. It overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, meaning there is no long constitutional protection for the right to an abortion. Melissa, Leah, and Kate recap the horrific opinion by Justice Alito and the somehow-worse concurrence by Justice Thomas, and also read some passages straight from the dissent.
You can find everything you need to fight back at but here’s a few things you can do
The first, and most important thing we can do is minimize the harm that this ruling will inflict. One way to do that is to support our Immediate Impact Fund. All funds raised go directly to local abortion funds, independent clinics, and legal defense for patients
We have a lot of work to do to fight back, and one place to start is with our Fight Back Fund, which supports grassroots organizing and powerbuilding organizations in states where we can make a difference, as well as supporting ballot measure campaigns in four states. By contributing, you can help local activists defend abortion rights this year and build towards the future
Get to work supporting winnable races in 2022 where abortion is at stakelike the governor’s races in Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Arizonaby signing up for Midterm Madness

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
