Synopsis: The Dobbs decision which overturned Roe v Wade has resulted in a lack of access to abortion in many parts of the country. Kamyon Conner is Executive Director of the Texas Equal Access (TEA) Fund which is located in Dallas. The Texas Equal Access Fund works to expand access to abortion care while simultaneously shifting culture towards reproductive justice.

The Central American nation of Nicaragua has been the focus of US interventions ever since the Sandinista revolution which occurred in 1979. The Biden administration is like its predecessors, committed to undermining the choices of the Nicaraguan people. John Perry is a writer who has contributed to the Council on Hemispheric Affairs, London Review of Books, and Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting among others and joins us from Nicaragua to talk about US immigration policies, the RENACER Act and the 222 prisoners recently deported to the United States.

Jihad Abdulmumit is a former Black Panther/Black Liberation Army political prisoner held in the federal system for 22 years. He is presently the National Chairperson for the Jericho Movement; a representative of the Jamaat of the Shehu Uthman Dan Fodio; and he sat on the Coordinating Committee of the Spirit of Mandela’s 2021 International Tribunal which successfully charged the United States government and its states with crime of genocide against Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. He joins us to discuss the upcoming introductory webinar of the Peoples Senate which will be held on Saturday, February 18.
