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 this episode we’re connecting the dots between abortion rights, bodily autonomy and sexual liberation. Because you know what we almost never talk about when we talk about abortion? Sex! Artist, organizer and abortion storyteller Favianna Rodriguez shares her journey toward sexual liberation, an intimate story of how her self-managed abortion allowed her to face generational trauma, and why dismantling gender stereotypes around sexuality has become part of her life’s work. Berkeley professor and author Juana Maria Rodriguez takes us through a fascinating history of sex workers in Mexico and Cuba, and how they pushed for social and political change around the “good women vs bad women” tropes. Mindy Jane Roseman, who directs the programs for global justice and women's rights at Yale Law School, explains the history of the Comstock Act, how it connects to the patriarchal “morality” precedent, and how it is being resurrected today in the Republican push to ban medication abortion (and birth control!).
