In this week's episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Jennie Wetter, host of the rePROs Fight Back podcast and director of the rePROs Fight Back initiative. During their conversation, Deanna and Jennie discuss the current state of sexual and reproductive health rights in the US, including how the current restrictions are keeping people stuck, the interconnectedness of abortion access and gender-affirming care, and how individual actions—even small ones—can contribute to larger change. Jennie also shares invaluable resources to support those directly impacted by these policies and those looking to join the fight.

Tune in to learn about:

• The current state of reproductive rights in the US—and how it’s keeping people feel stuck
• The power of small steps for enacting big change
• Actionable strategies to get involved and support the fight for sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Thoughts from the episode:

• “Abortion is banned or highly restricted in 17 states. That means people in 17 states are unable to access care in their own state.”
• “This is a marathon, not a sprint. You come in when you can, you step back and take care of yourself when you have to and hand the baton off to somebody else and step back in when you are refreshed and recharged.”
• “You don’t know who you’re talking to at any given moment and what you’re going to say that may change their mind.”
