Podcasts about together for yes

Together for Yes is an abortion rights campaign group in Ireland. It campaigned successfully for a Yes vote in the 2018 referendum to remove the Eighth Amendment's constitutional ban on abortion in Ireland. In this episode I talk with Ailbhe Smyth, an Irish academic, and the founding director of the Women's Education, Resource and Research Centre at University College Dublin. As well as being involved in campaigns on women's liberation in the 1970s and on equal marriage she was named as one of the Time 100 most influential people, which she helped found and which was the umbrella organisation for the campaign for repealing the 8th amendment of the Irish constitution which had afforded the unborn the same rights as a pregnant woman. . There is lots of interesting stuff in this interview. The campaign was hugely successful and Ailbhe was one of the people directing it and making sure it didn't make the mistakes that a lot of coalitions make. Hosted on Acast.

A pregnant student seeks an abortion in 1960s France in the compelling new drama Happening. Audrey Diwan's stunning film is an immersive insight into life at the time, as young women explore their sexuality but are repressed by a law that bans abortion and, as our heroine puts it "turns them into housewives.” Director Audrey Diwan joins host Anna Smith to discuss the film starring Anamaria Vartolomei. She explains why she was keen to adapt the text by Annie Ernaux, based on a true story, and how the orgasm scene was inspired by one of her own experiences. She discusses the modern day relevance of the topic and also how her gaze is informed by many aspects including her gender. Next, Anna is joined by Orla O'Connor, who was listed as one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People for her work on the Together For Yes campaign. Orla is a passionate feminist and incredible speaker who heads up the National Women's Council in Ireland, and gives a wonderful insight into the ongoing fight for reproductive rights. She also gives her personal response to Happening, and explains the importance of film in raising awareness about access to legal abortion. Happening is in UK and Irish cinemas from April 22nd 2022.

In this episode of How The Yes Was Won, we cover the formation of Together For Yes, the national campaign to organise for a Yes vote in the referendum on Repeal. We spoke to activists involved in the campaign, from head office to canvassers on the ground, and discuss the many ways in which people were excluded from it. We also cover how the Irish Media denigrated the campaign from the outset, never really understanding the power of grassroots activism. Links to additional resources are below.A clarification. There is a point that's been interpreted as blaming Together for Yes or ARC for writing non-inclusive legislation. We want to make sure everyone knows that this was not the intention of the interviewee or us, and that FG are to blame, not those groups. We want to make sure everyone knows that activists groups unfortunately do not get to say what goes into legislation, and to thank the people who brought this miscommunication to our attention. Some context was lost in editing and we sincerely apologize for that. Our greater point was not that we could choose or write the legislation, but rather that the campaign did choose who was included in the conversation, and that that did have a knock on effect. We'll go into that in more detail in episode 9, but just want to clear that point up. If you would like to help increase access to abortion in Ireland and elsewhere, please consider donating to the Abortion Support Network.Donate to Abortion Support NetworkTogether For YesIn Her Shoes Women of the Eighth: A Memoir and Anthology by Erin DarcyWritten and edited by Deirdre Kelly and Aisling Dolan.

In today’s episode, Tanya Sweeney tells Roisín Ingle why the opening of an Oliver Bonas store in Dublin is bad news for our wallets. (She spent too much on a neon rainbow lamp. What? It sparked joy!) They also discuss that car crash Prince Andrew interview and after encouraging us all to de-clutter our homes, ask why is Marie Kondo now selling her own home-ware range? Also on this episode, Roisín speaks to Alison O’Connor and co-founders of the Together For Yes Campaign, Ailbhe Smyth and Orla O’Connor. Together with Gráinne Griffin, they have written It’s a Yes! ; a new book which reveals the inner workings of that historic women-led campaign.

With abortion at a flashpoint in the U.S. and states practically or literally banning the procedure, we unpack how Ireland went from total ban to public acceptance. We learn how campaigners avoided a gauntlet of messaging missteps to deliver a decisive victory on an issue once considered too taboo to name.

What does the bible really say about abortion? Annie Laurie Gaylor and FFRF attorney Liz Cavell answer that question. Then, on the first anniversary of the successful May 2018 referendum to overturn Ireland's constitutional ban on abortion, we talk on the phone from Dublin with feminist and LGBTQ activist, professor Ailbhe Smyth, one of the main organizers of Together For Yes, which successfully campaigned to repeal the Eighth Amendment.

This time last year we were gearing up for May 25th, the date of the referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment. It was a momentous time, so today the Women’s Podcast looks back, forward and outward. This episode focuses on what has happened in Ireland in the past year and what needs to happen next. It also looks at the situation in Northern Ireland where abortion is still illegal, the United States where there has been a dangerous row back on women’s reproductive rights under President Trump and to other places like Malta and Argentina. Joining Róisín to discuss this is Sorcha Tunney from Amnesty Ireland, on the phone from New York pro-choice activist and journalist Katha Pollitt and Orla O’Connor, director of the National Women’s Council of Ireland, Time Woman of the Year and one of the leaders of Together For Yes. Plus: Róisín talks to Belfast actor Amy Molloy and Welsh writer Rachel Tresize about their play Cotton Fingers. Set in Belfast it tells the story of a young woman making the journey to Wales to access free NHS abortion care.

**Together for Yes at the Intercontinental Hotel** On this episode of Sparking Change, Dil is at the Together for Yes event in the Intercontinental Hotel in Ballsbridge, for the announcement of the referendum results. Dil interviews some of the people involved with the incredible Together for Yes campaign, and we hear passionate speeches celebrating what was an amazingly successful campaign. (01:20) Denise Charlton Denise is the head of fundraising for Together for Yes. She and Dil discuss the expected timeline for when legislation for abortion will be put in place for safe and legal abortion, and which social issues still need to be fixed for the future. (08:40) Maria and Alan Maria and Alan are both involved with Together for Yes. Maria worked on civil society organisation coordination, bringing in diverse groups with the same stance for the referendum together. Alan set up Men4yes to encourage conversation about abortion between men. Dil, Maria and Alan discuss a wide range of topics, such as the diversity within this campaign, the LGBTQI+ presence in the campaign and the lasting positive effects that the Together for Yes campaign will have for all the people involved in it. (26:40) Marian Marian is a GP, who has been practising in Dublin for 20 years. She gives an eye-opening account of how she would provide information and support to pregnant women when there was none available. (35:55) Helen, Philippa and Jenny Ryder Philippa returns to Sparking Change—she was on the show last month—this time, with her wife, Helen and daughter, Jenny. Dil, Helen, Philippa and Jenny discuss the negative tactics of the ‘No’ campaign, and the nerves they were feeling on voting day.  (42:30) Ivana Bacik Next, we hear a speech from Ivana Bacik, the leader of the Labour Party in the Seanad. Ivana gives an impassioned speech remembering the days of getting information about abortion from phone numbers on the back of public toilet doors, as well as humorous chants about SPUC. (47:55) Silke, Sarah and Sinéad We then hear speeches from Silke from the National Women’s Council of Ireland, Sarah from the Abortion Rights Campaign, and Sinéad from the Coalition to Repeal the Eighth Amendment. The ladies tell their stories of how they got involved in the campaign and their inspiration, and give their endless thanks to the huge numbers of people who helped on this amazingly successful campaign, from the people on the administrative side of all the groups involved, to the brave women who stood up told their stories. (01:03:35) Grainne Griffin, Orla O’Connor and Ailbhe Smith Finally, we hear elated speeches from Grainne, Orla (01:12:15) and Ailbhe, who are co-directors for the Together for Yes Campaign. You can hear the intense passion from each of these phenomenal people, and the amazing sense of achievement at having accomplished something that seemed so unattainable until only recently. Words simply don’t do it justice. A massive congratulations to everyone involved in the campaign, and to everyone who voted.

Welcome to our big 50th episode party! We took over the Vintage Room in The Workman's Club and filled it with sound people. We did a little quiz and gave away some extremely desirable prizes. Then we talked to Oscar-winning graphic designer Annie Atkins whose work you've seen in The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle Of Dogs, Bridge Of Spies, The Tudors, and loads more. Annie talked to us about the classic and only mildly disturbing family comedy BIG. It was a really interesting conversation and also it's one of the very special times where Alan, Ellen, and Sarah are all in the same room so that was fun. Thank you so much to Alan and Brian at HeadStuff for making this episode happen and to everybody at The Workman's who gave us the space and set us up and made sure we didn't set fire to anything. We donated all of our ticket sales for the night to Together For Yes and we're delighted to say that we raised €300 so thank you to everybody that bought a ticket. Note: We are shamble people and away from the safe confines of the HeadStuff studio we have a tendency to make microphones malfunction. It happens a couple of times during this but it shouldn't affect your listening experience too much unless you have "platinum ears".
