On Strike With Insight Annabel Prokopy

On May 3, 2022, a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion announced the court's intent to overturn Roe v. Wade and 50 years of precedent providing for the legality of abortions. In the weeks following the leak, I spoke to Indiana representative Chris Campbell on how the legislature would respond to a repeal on Roe v. Wade and how this decision could impact Hoosiers - spoiler: disproportionately. I also attended a small student-led protest downtown to speak directly to community members. In just 12 minutes, we explore an urgent, complex issue that will shape the future of the United States. Listen now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and follow @onstrikewithinsight.

En este episodio, hablo con María Reyes, una joven activista del clima en México. Nuestra conversación está grabada en español, pero he publicado una versión con voiceovers en inglés también! Discutimos los efectos que ya están ocurriendo del cambio climático en comunidades a través de México, la idea del eco-feminismo y el papel de las mujeres en los movimientos ambientales (un tema que María es increíblemente conocedora), el futuro del movimiento climático, y por supuesto, cómo los oyentes pueden involucrarse con tiempo limitado.

Emma Greenwood is a youth climate activist in Manchester, UK. She serves as youth MP of Bury and has brought a strong youth voice into local decision making with a focus on climate and mental health. In this conversation, we chat about the importance of youth leadership and the differences in how youth are incorporated into leadership between our two communities. We also discuss taking a step back, climate, and getting involved in activism. I loved recording this episode with Emma, and I'm excited for you to hear it!

Emiliana Rickenmann is a 19 year old climate activist from Colombia, who is currently studying medicine in Switzerland. The crisis in the Amazon sparked her to get involved in the movement by joining Fridays For Future Bogota. She has since co-founded Latinas for Climate as a platform to amplify the voices of those in Latin America who are most affected by the climate crisis and empower young girls to add their voices to the fight. Those most affected by the climate crisis are often left out of the headlines. But this is not because they are silent, they are simply unamplified. Today, we talk climate intersectionality, the Escazu agreement, activism with a busy lifestyle, privilege to safely advocate for change, and more.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Danielle Sipp, a powerful high school activist in Indiana on environmental racism - a topic she is incredibly knowledgeable about. Environmental racism goes so much deeper than surface level, and many aspects of it are hidden in our political system. Throughout the episode, we discuss Dani's personal experiences with environmental racism in Indiana, what exactly it is, what has allowed it to flourish in our society, and what you can do to support the fight against environmental racism.
