1) Examining Voters' Contradictory Support for Abortion and Trump

Amy Littlefield, The Nation magazine’s abortion access correspondent and a journalist who focuses on reproductive rights, healthcare, and religion, who's forthcoming book "American Crusaders," examines the history of the anti-abortion movement over the last fifty years. She'll assess the outcome of the 2024 election, and Donald Trump and GOP's ongoing threat, to step-by-step further erode reproductive rights when Trump and the new GOP Congress take power in January.

2) Women's March Organizing January 18th Trump Protest

Tamika Middleton, Managing Director of Women's March, discusses the nationwide organizing she and others are doing in advance of the massive January 18th People's March in Washington, D.C., and other locations around the U.S., to build community and power ahead of a second Trump presidency that threatens reproductive rights, civil rights, gender equality, and democracy itself.

3) Respond to Trump's Agenda with Radical Action

Natasha Lennard, a columnist for The Intercept and author of the book, “Being Numerous: Essays on Non-Fascist Life,” discusses her recent article, "The Answer to Trump’s Victory Is Radical Action," and her views on the urgent need to mobilize in advance of Donald Trump taking power in Washington on January 20, 2024.

4) International Criminal Court Issues War Crimes Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu, Others

Robert Jereski, a lawyer and activist who serves as the volunteer coordinator of Codepink's World Court Campaign, discusses the horrific ongoing war in Gaza, and the significance of the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense chief Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader, Ibrahim Al-Masr for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. He'll also talk about his work at the UN to overcome U.S. vetos of a succession of UN Security Council Gaza ceasefire resolutions.
