Episode Synopsis

We did it — together! Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams break down the monumental win that is the passage of Ohio’s reproductive freedom constitutional amendment.

Kelley and Terry call attention to the important role physicians and clergy played in pressing for the 2023 ballot initiative, taking a long look at the past 10 months of faith communities fighting long and hard for the passage of Issue 1. Listen in for celebration, some forward-looking analysis, and (as always) a good self-care reminder from your favorites in faith and repro.
