Today we share excerpts from “She's Beautiful When She's Angry,” a documentary filled with stories that still resonate today as women face new challenges around reproductive rights and sexual violence.  The documentary tells the stories of the activists of the Women's Liberation Movement that gained traction in the late 1960s and led to social and policy changes that set women on a path towards equality and reproductive justice. It also addresses the intersections of race and gender and the experiences of the Black women who were integral to this movement.  The film is about activists, those who inspire, organize, and revolutionize the world by changing the standards and broadening what we think is possible.  Learn more about the story and find the transcript on radioproject.org.

Heather Booth began speaking out against injustice. In her early twenties, she founded an underground network called Jane. The network eventually helped over 11,000 women get safe, illegal abortions before it was made legal in the U.S. with Roe v. Wade.Heather grew up Jewish and was raised by loving parents. Her mom and dad shared an important Hebrew idiom with her and her brothers: “Tikkun Olam,” which means, “heal the world.” And that's indeed what she's been doing her whole life. In 1966, Heather led a sit-in against the war in Vietnam, becoming the first college campus in U.S. where the students took over an administration building. She co-founded the Chicago Women's Liberation Union. Her husband Paul Booth was also an activist and her partner in justice. Today she's 78 years old and still giving talks, press conferences and showing up physically when the movement calls.

On today's show, we're talking about the Janes. Before Roe v. Wade, if you were in need of an abortion in Chicago, there was a number you could call, run by young women who called themselves Jane. They'd provide abortions to women who had nowhere else to turn. It was started by Heather Booth when she was 19 years old.  We're joined by Booth, to discuss the history of the Jane Collective and the connections between our pre-Roe past and post-Roe future. Where do we go from here? Joining us to discuss these vital issues is our special guest:Heather Booth: Heather Booth is a feminist organizer and political strategist. She started the JANE collective in Chicago in the 1960s when she was just 19, to help provide abortions prior to Roe v. Wade. Since then she has gone on to become a political strategist for progressive issue and electoral campaigns, working with the DNC, NAACP, and more. Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Tips, suggestions, pitches?

Heather Booth is one of the country's leading strategists about progressive issue campaigns and driving issues in elections.

More than a destination, freedom is a constant struggle, a verb as well as a noun. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous assertion that the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice may be true, but only if, as he demonstrated with his entire being, we organize and fight to make it so. We're honored to be joined in conversation with Heather Booth, a Civil Rights pioneer, peace and justice activist, feminist icon, and legendary community organizer. She was an early leader of Students for a Democratic Society, participated in Freedom Summer in Mississippi in 1964, and was one of the founders of the pioneering clandestine abortion network, the Janes. We talk about Organizing 101, what it takes to commit to the Freedom Struggle for the long haul, and why our organizing has to be built on a moral vision—“with love at the center.”

Before Roe v Wade made abortion legal, women still needed them. In this classic episode, Bridget Todd is joined by Heather Booth who started an underground network to give women abortion access.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before abortion was legalized by the US Supreme Court in 1973 (Roe v Wade), aChicago-based group of over 100 women--known as Jane--provided counselingand illegal abortions for 11,000 women (1969-1973). Rev. & Dr. Patricia Novick,age 75, was one of the original Janes. Patricia and founder Heather Booth areamong those featured in the illuminating film The Janes. In her conversation withWomen Over 70, Patricia dispels the public's misconceptions about the Janes--who they were and who they served. Patricia situates the single issue of abortionrights in the larger context of social issues concerning justice, choice, privacy,autonomy, and personal freedom. Now, 50 years later, the Janes have reunited,and Patricia shares new information and ideas about ways to contribute to thegroundswell of activism. As older women, Patricia believes it is our job to be rolemodels for younger generations of activists.Living in a democratic, pluralistic society means that humans have theright to make their own decisions about their bodies and their lives. - Dr. Rev.

She was one of the founders of the underground network of Chicago women who called themselves Jane and ran illegal abortion clinics in the pre-Roe days of the late `60s and early `70s.

In the wake of the Roe v Wade decision, it is easy to feel hopeless, and angry. I wanted to make an episode that talked about the women who came before us, and how they fought against a system that was determined to deny them their basic human rights and access to healthcare.  Today we're going to talk about the Jane Collective, the women who came before us who helped women in need obtain abortion and healthcare at a time where they could be tried for felony murder.  About the recent Supreme Court decision, founder Heather Booth said,  "It's certainly against the promise of this country and against freedoms that we've worked so hard for. but we can make a difference and we can make a future...we need to turn our anger into action. because it's when we stay hopeless and helpless that we become victims. We are not victims, we are the hero of our story." 

Today America marks Juneteenth with a federal holiday, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. And once again, the values at the heart of Juneteenth – freedom and equality – are in sharp focus in this country, not long after the racist massacre in Buffalo and at a time when inflation is likely to further entrench racial inequality. To reflect on all this, academic and author Carol Anderson joins the program.  Also on today's show: James Jones, director of Cheronbyl: The Lost Tapes; the Jane organization's Heather Booth and Jeanne Galatzer-Levy; actor Angela Lansbury (from the archives).

In BY THE LIGHT OF BURNING DREAMS, brother and sister, DAVID & MARGARET TALBOT, tell the story of the 1960s, an era they call the Second American Revolution, through the individual stories of movement leaders, including Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Russell Means of the American Indian Movement, Bobby Seale of the Black Panther Party, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta of the United Farm Workers, Heather Booth and the women behind the (pre-Roe v Wade) Jane Collective abortion network.

In BY THE LIGHT OF BURNING DREAMS, brother and sister, DAVID & MARGARET TALBOT, tell the story of the 1960s, an era they call the Second American Revolution, through the individual stories of movement leaders, including Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Russell Means of the American Indian Movement, Bobby Seale of the Black Panther Party, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta of the United Farm Workers, Heather Booth and the women behind the (pre-Roe v Wade) Jane Collective abortion network. David founded Salon.com and has written six books. Margaret is a staff writer at The New Yorker. 

On the show, Chris Hedges discusses the Second American Revolution with author David Talbot. The populist uprisings of the Progressive Era, labor militancy of the 1930s, and the sweeping social and cultural transformations of the 1960s and 1970s constitute America's second revolution. These movements sought to complete the unfinished work of the first revolution, enfranchising those the founders of the nation had condemned and thrust aside: black people, women, Native Americans and the poor. The second American revolution, embodied in its final phase by Dr. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, spawned a series of powerful movements including the anti-war movement, the black power movement, the women's movement, the American Indian movement, gay and lesbian movements, the United Farm Workers union, the Weather Underground and a radical, alternative press embodied in publications such as Ramparts magazine. But the promises of these movements have been largely obliterated. The ruling elites mounted a sustained, often lawless and successful campaign to crush these expressions of popular yearning and popular discontent. Salon founder David Talbot and New Yorker writer Margaret Talbot look back at this moment in our history in their book ‘By the Light of Burning Dreams: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the Second American Revolution' to ask what happened and what, finally, went wrong. The authors use portraits of radical activists, including Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale, Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Heather Booth and the Women of Jane, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Dennis Banks, Madonna Thunder Hawk, Russell Means, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono as a lens to look at the inner workings and inherent flaws in the Second American Revolution.

Two very distinct narratives use the word “they;” one refers to the radical left and the establishment while the second narrative is aimed at everyday, hard working people. Visit https://www.grandlakeusconstitutionweek.com/ for details on the 10th Annual Constitution Week being held in Grand Lake, September 13th thru the 19th.  Kim will be the Emcee for Saturday's main event and the week will end with church services on Sunday.  America's Veterans Stories features Marine Veteran Manert Kennedy, Sunday at 3pm and 10pm on KLZ 560AM and KLZ 100.7FM.  College football sets itself in the middle of COVID-19/Wuhan-China virus mandates.  Children's Health Defense files a lawsuit against the FDA and acting director Dr. Janet Woodcock arguing that the licensure of Pfizer's Comirnaty vaccine is a deceptive “bait and switch.”  Kim highly recommends keeping Colorado SB21-142 in your “toolbox” with special attention to Section 1(e) that states:  Every person has a right to privacy with respect to personal health decisions, free from coercion or interference from the government.  Harris campaigns for Newsom with a fearful statement, if “they” can elect a Republican in California, “they” can do it anywhere.  We must remember all those who lost their lives on 9/11, the thirteen military troops who just recently lost their lives in Afghanistan, and all others who have served our country. Elizabeth School Board candidate Heather Booth is adamant that students learn academics in school and not be socially engineered in curriculum such as Critical Race Theory, CRT.  Heather plans on keeping the students in school, not virtual, and giving parents the choice to choose between masking their student or not.  Heather does not see the value of LEAP, Learning Enrichment and Academic Progress Program, and notes it should be voted down.  LEAP's proposed funding would be thru a new state retail marijuana tax.  You can email Heather at HpBooth@me.com with any questions, clarifications, or to volunteer. Professor John Eastman, Constitutional expert, explains why Colorado's open primary, made possible by Proposition 108, the Colorado Unaffiliated Elector, passed in 2016, is unconstitutional under the First Amendment.  The GOP state meeting to be held on September 18th is an opportunity for state central committee members to go on record to vote, “the majority of this private association, the Republican Party, supports a Republican-only primary, letting ourselves choose who our nominees are going to be.  And we authorize the constitutional legal challenge to that unconstitutional local primary law.”  John references a California case twenty plus years ago where he presented arguments against California's open primary and the case was won at the Supreme Court.  John also states that if the primary is closed, it could result in the largest Republican Party registration drive on record.  The lawsuit can be fast tracked allowing for it to be implemented by primary time in 2022.

For the last podcast of the year, we are revisiting our conversation with Heather Booth. Heather is a force to be reckoned with and that’s a very good thing! She is one of the country’s  leading strategists when it comes to progressive issue campaigns and driving issues in elections. Heather’s organizing and commitment to social justice began during the civil rights, anti-Vietnam War and women’s movements of the 1960s. She also started JANE, an underground abortion service in 1965 before Roe v Wade became law. We cover a lot of territory in this open, honest, impactful conversation with a compassionate, committed woman.

Heather Booth is a legendary progressive organizer with a half century of often astonishing achievement—a pioneer in the starting of feminist activism, key organizer in Illinois for the candidacies of insurgent African American candidates Harold Washington and Carol Mosely Braun, founder of the Midwest Academy which has trained thousands of organizers, in charge of national mobilizations for universal healthcare and financial reform to name a few of her efforts. We talked with Heather a few days after she became director of Progressive and Senior outreach for the Biden campaign. It was inspiring. Want to enjoy more ongoing bonus content? Become a patron!

Legendary political activist & strategist Heather Booth talks about what it's going to take to beat Trump. And Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth returns to talk Indivisible & the Reader.

At age 74, Heather Booth thrives as a visionary leader who makes big change happen. Ever since her teen years, Heather has championed social movements and built organizations—civil rights, women’s rights, labor rights, and others.  She describes her entry into organizing in the 1960s and her founding, in the 1970s, of the Midwest Academy, a national training institute, that unites community organizing with “movement’ background and spirit.” A long-time resident of Washington D.C., Heather advises organizations and leaders on adapting strategies for changing times. The death of Heather’s husband two years ago—her movement partner—rocked her world. Yet she describes herself as a ‘long distance runner’ who keeps visions alive. "We must build and exercise the public power for social good." - Heather Booth Take-Aways: Sometimes one must stand up to illegitimate authority. Do what gives you joy in life. Build community around family, friends, others—and cultivate relationships. Plan strategically, not just to protest, but to build power. If we organize, we can change the world.  We need to organize.
