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.

In episode two, we journey to El Salvador, a country described by the United Nations as one of the most dangerous places in the world for women. El Salvador has a total ban on abortion, and as a result, women are being jailed for suspected abortions, stillbirths, and miscarriages.This week, we meet Teodora Vasquez, a woman who experienced an obstetric emergency late into her pregnancy while at work. She called 911.They never came. Instead, the authorities showed up late, and accused her of trying to end her own pregnancy. Teodora was one of the first 17 women incarcerated for obstetric emergencies and sentenced to 30 to 40 years in prison. But when Teodora was released, she was determined to create a better life for herself and the women who came after. As the founder of a grassroots organization called Mujeres Libres, Teodora’s story shows us why we should never give up the fight - even in the face of totalitarianism, and how when you band together with aligned activists - you can make a difference.
