It’s a VIDEO and audio podcast LIVE from the lawn of the Nation’s Capitol where Lizz and Moji were joined by abortion storytellers and all-around badasses to bring you the ultimate Medication Abortion 101.

How do abortion pills work? Why do people choose them? Are they safe? Where can you get them? And why are anti-abortion extremists so DESPERATE to scare you about them? We’re covering the basics, busting the bullshit, and hooking you up with resources to navigate your options, access pills online, and share your own abortion story.

PLUS: a whole toolkit of advocacy actions, myth-busting facts, and resources to help you feel informed, empowered, and ready to fight back.
