Free speech online? Not for us. In this episode, your hosts Cristina and Ivania welcome Martha Dimitratou of Repro Uncensored, the global organization documenting and challenging online censorship. We’ll dive deep into how Big Tech platforms are burying, blocking, and banning information about sexual and reproductive health. It’s even changing the way we talk. Hello, algospeak!

Learn about the censorship Lilith Fund has faced online and what we’re doing about it. Repro Uncensored has documented hundreds of cases of censorship across the world, and Martha will share some of those examples and the scale of what we are up against.

It’s scary stuff, but this episode is not about doom. We’ll let you in on the ways Lilith Fund has changed our strategy to make sure our communities can hear from us. We’ll learn about a class-action legal motion against Meta in the Netherlands. We also talk with Martha about how policy frameworks, IRL actions, and shifting to other forms of communication can work together at this moment.

This episode might outrage you, but we’ve got specific actions you can take to stay connected to organizations helping people access care in your communities. You’re already doing one of those things by listening to this podcast.

En este episodio en español de Gaslit, tu host Ivania pláticacon Selena —miembre de la comunidad de Lilith Fund, educadora, y mamá— para tener esa conversación que tal vez tu familia no tuvo. Juntas rompen el silencio sobre el aborto y el estigma entre las familias latines, y se hacen las preguntas verdaderas. ¿De dónde viene realmente el estigma? ¿Cómo nos moldea todo aquello que no se habla? ¿Podemos salvar la vida de alguien con solo hablar de nuestras experiencias de forma abierta y honesta? Quizás ya sabes que el chisme es vida, pero Ivania y Selena están aquí para decirte que el chisme salva vidas cuando el tema es nuestro derecho a acceder a la salud. También hablan sobre las barreras que enfrentan las personas en Texas y las comunidades inmigrantes, los mitos que refuerzan el miedo en la gente, y la verdad sobre lo que el silencio nos puede costar a todes. Esta es una conversación personal, sincera y que ya es hora de tener.

Welcome to another episode of Gaslit, where your hosts Shae and Ivania welcome Taja Lindley from All Options for a conversation about what it takes to show up for pregnant and parenting people. This wide-ranging conversation digs into the connections between compassion, listening, and silence. We’ll talk about what person-centered care means and why the framework of reproductive justice shows us how we can navigate the contradictions and messiness that are part of all of our lives. You can learn more about All Options at all-options.org and connect with Taja at BlackWomensLabor.com.

Join us for an episode dedicated to yapping all about abortion on TV. Your hosts Erika and Shae welcome Blanca and Ivania from the Lilith Fund team to share the abortion on TV moments that had the biggest impact on them. We agree that self-care can sometimes look like chilling out and watching TV. But what happens when abortion pops up in the plot? If you love TV and are also being real about abortion, this episode is for you. We’ll take a close look at the abortions on Degrassi, Sex and the City, Heartbreak High, and Grey’s Anatomy. We also hit on The Ultimatum, Love is Blind, and the film Unpregnant. We want to know about the abortion storylines that made an impact on you, too!

Gaslit goes to Hollywood for this very special, celebrity-packed, Fund-a-Thon bonus episode. We are talking with Amir Talai, an actor and abortion activist who also happens to be a certified Fund-a-Thon rockstar! Amir has raised literally tens of thousands of dollars for the Lilith Fund hotline with the support of his creative and funny fans.

Join guest hosts Blanca and Cristina from the Lilith Fund team as they talk with Amir about his journey to abortion activism and building community online as a public figure. We’ll even get deep and talk about what redemption requires of us all.

For all of the men who listen, Amir has a message about the power, privilege, and strategic importance of your voices in the fight for abortion access. You’ll hear about Amir’s plans for Fund-a-Thon that include thirst traps, fistfuls of cilantro, going live on Twitch, and even the promise of a sumo suit!

For fans of Hazbin Hotel, where Amir plays the morally questionable Alastor, Blanca is right there with you with questions about how the characters might fit in our own little (abortion access) world. What would a demon think of JD Vance anyway? Let’s find out! There are spoilers for Hazbin Hotel and American Horror Story: Hotel ahead!

In this episode of Gaslit, we’re bringing you an important conversation with Katie Grimmer of SAFE Alliance of Austin, an organization dedicated to fighting sexual assault and exploitation, child abuse, and domestic violence. Shae welcomes a special guest host Ivania to talk with Katie about how abortion bans actually put survivors of interpersonal violence (IPV) in greater danger. In a world where up to 20 percent of pregnant people experience violence while pregnant, this conservation is critical. Shae, Ivania, and Katie also discuss the concept of safety planning and why emotional safety matters, too. You’ll learn how interpersonal violence is a reproductive justice issue and why the practice of getting and giving consent has the power to build a better future for us all.
