More Than A Magazine, A Movement
is a political strategist, reproductive rights advocate, and social media influencer from Texas. She raised over $2 million for abortion funds online and continues to travel the country talking to young voters about the issues they care about., host Anoushka Chander is joined by Olivia Julianna to dive into how young women voters are experiencing this election.
And I think that a lot of young women sometimes can feel very dejected from politics because they feel like the only time people are talking to them is when they’re talking to them about abortion and they’re not talking to them about the other long term policy issues that have to do with their lives that they’re coming into. So, I have to say that those two things really just consistently have stood out amongst relatively everything else.
Raising two million dollars. You know, there are a lot of people who were able to get healthcare and able to get out of bad circumstances because of that money that everyone raised but also just being a kid from where I grew up. I grew up in a very small town, Needville, Texas. My graduating class was like maybe two hundred and something people, and I just lived in this little farmhouse, and I didn’t think that it was possible for me to get out of this kind of life that we predetermined for me.
And I’m curious, you know, you’ve talked a bit about how your role as a content creator but what about for those of us who are content consumers? What role do you think that social media plays in raising awareness among young voters and can we find accurate information about politics, about you know our healthcare, about voting online because there’s so much misinformation now.
The secondary story of Kate Cox, which a lot of people are more familiar with, is Kate Cox is pregnant. She had a fatal fetal abnormality, which means that her pregnancy was not viable. There was not going to be a baby that was born. So, she needed access to an abortion. There was a lawsuit that was filed.
You can’t get the government…if you have Medicaid it won’t pay for it. And so, you know, platforming and uplifting abortion bans for people in Texas is the most effective way for them to get care directly. You know, there is now over the counter birth control that we have here. O pill is over the counter. FDA approved. You can buy that here in places like HEB and CVS and Walgreens I think.
