Listen & Watch: Green Tide Rising

The rePROFilm Periodical Podcast will end along with our film series, but two members of our team are collaborating (with a rePROFilm alumna!) on an ambitious new podcast series about reproductive justice.

Green Tide Rising captures Latin America’s iconic Green Wave Movement —  which  has shaped some of the most progressive abortion policies in the world — and  offers lessons for us as we continue to fight for reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy here in the U.S.

Through the eyes of Colombian feminist lawyer Ximena Casas, we meet the people who have ​turned the fight for reproductive justice – from the ​tip of Argentina all the way to Mexico and beyond  – into a powerful, modern feminist movement.

The eight episode series speaks directly to two of the fastest growing demographics of new voters in America — Latines and Gen Z – meeting them where they are: audio platforms and social media. Our strategic outreach focuses especially on audiences living in states with restrictive laws and upcoming abortion ballot measures. Polling experts predict that Latine voters are going to have a big impact on the outcome of the election in 2024, especially in these areas.

The first episode “Argentina: Birthplace of the Green Wave” dropped last week, and Episode 2 “El Salvador: No Exceptions” will be released on Thursday. Listen & subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and follow along with our short form video series Entonces (see below!)
