Hosted by Monica Morales-Garcia and Asha Dahya, Green Tide Rising is an eight-episode audio documentary series that shines a light on the accomplishments of the Green Wave movement in Latin America, which is instrumental in shaping some of the most progressive abortion policies in the world. Grounded in rigorous research and steeped in our cultural zeitgeist, audiences will have a front row seat to the true stories of this modern movement. Through the eyes of feminist lawyer and reproductive rights advocate Ximena Casas Isaza, we meet the people who were on the ground as these revolutionary changes unfolded and who have turned the fight for reproductive freedom into a powerful feminist movement. Their unwavering dedication to changing abortion laws and ensuring access to care can serve as both a blueprint and an inspiration to activists and citizens in the U.S. as we continue to face setbacks within our own judicial system and medical establishment. We examine the impact of abortion bans that have criminalized pregnant people across Latin America, and how the U.S. could face the same fate if we don't act now.
Green Tide Rising positions the Global South as a beacon of hope and a reminder for what is at stake for the Global North. We are offering a call to action from Latin America to the U.S. which will bolster public opinion that abortion is a fundamental human right.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: The Fight for Three Exceptions - Is It Enough? (Bilingual)
In this episode, we head to the Dominican Republic, which shares an island with Haiti in the Caribbean. We highlight the movement for Las Tres Causales, or The Three Exceptions, hearing different perspectives from activists and organizers about why these exceptions are not enough, but are an important first step in a longer fight. With a focus on intersectionality, we explore how abortion access and decriminalization is interwoven with the freedoms of many varying communities. We meet Cristina Francisco, founder of the Circle of Women with Disabilities (CIMUDIS), who talks about how she advocates for women with disabilities to have the right to choose. Estefanny Molina shares the story of Esperancita, whose mother Rosa Hernandez sparked a movement with WomenLink. We speak with NY Assemblywoman Amanda Septimo, a Dominicana who has been part of U.S.-based protests forcing DR President Luis Abinader to reform the penal code. And we learn how anti-racism and anti-Blackness is a much-needed component of the fight in order to advocate for Afro-Latina and Haitian women, from El Comité de América Latina Y El Caribe Para La Defensa De Los Derechos De Las Mujeres (CLADEM).
