Episode description

We discuss the intersection of feminism and democracy and discover how the egalitarian underpinnings of feminism are fundamental to an equal society. Abortion bans illustrate this well. “Any time there's a conflict between the Constitution and someone's personal bodily autonomy and the subject of rights under the law, that is anti-democratic.” 

Nicole’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1. Start small, engaging directly in your community

2. Maintain hope and optimism and believe that you’re going where you want to go

Dr. C. Nicole Mason is the founder and president of Future Forward Women, a project at the New York Women’s Foundation.
