Welcome to Season 2 of the Swing Left Nebraska Podcast.  It’s been nearly two weeks since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade placing the right to abortion into the hands of the states. After the news dropped, protests have been happening regularly across the state. Thousands of Nebraskans are showing up and making their voices heard. On Tuesday June 28th, I was one of those Nebraskans's who showed up to the "Bans Off Our Bodies” rally on 72nd dodge. I met four awesome protesters who were kind enough to share their stories about why they were on the streets fighting to protect abortion rights.
