One of the first events of Antioch Works for Democracy 2024—a multi-month campaign of education and action to build a more just and inclusive democracy during this critical election year—was a conversation with internationally recognized political activist, feminist organizer, compassionate humanitarian, and public intellectual Gloria Steinem. In this timely conversation, Steinem shared her reflections on critical strategies and valuable lessons from the past as we face today’s widespread attacks on women’s health and reproductive rights in states across the country. Women’s rights are being threatened, diminished, and eliminated. This special one-hour conversation was facilitated by Carol Jenkins herself, a well-known civil rights activist, author, and Emmy-winning television anchor.
