EP. 229 — What’s At Stake This US Election with Melissa Murray

This week, Jameela dives into what’s at stake in this year’s US Election with NYU Professor, author and podcaster Melissa Murray (Crooked Media’s Strict Scrutiny) who runs through the grim reality of Project 2025, what the media hasn’t covered from Supreme Court rulings, and how reproductive rights could be further restricted.

 

Despite the harrowing landscape, Melissa outlines how ‘violence against women’ policies can be reestablished, how we can protect LGBTQIA+ rights, and what a Supreme Court reformation looks like. She also reminds us about our voting rights and what we learn about civics, plus plenty more.
