Hosted by Monica Morales-Garcia and Asha Dahya, Green Tide Rising is an eight-episode audio documentary series that shines a light on the accomplishments of the Green Wave movement in Latin America, which is instrumental in shaping some of the most progressive abortion policies in the world. Grounded in rigorous research and steeped in our cultural zeitgeist, audiences will have a front row seat to the true stories of this modern movement. Through the eyes of feminist lawyer and reproductive rights advocate Ximena Casas Isaza, we meet the people who were on the ground as these revolutionary changes unfolded and who have turned the fight for reproductive freedom into a powerful feminist movement. Their unwavering dedication to changing abortion laws and ensuring access to care can serve as both a blueprint and an inspiration to activists and citizens in the U.S. as we continue to face setbacks within our own judicial system and medical establishment. We examine the impact of abortion bans that have criminalized pregnant people across Latin America, and how the U.S. could face the same fate if we don't act now.
Green Tide Rising positions the Global South as a beacon of hope and a reminder for what is at stake for the Global North. We are offering a call to action from Latin America to the U.S. which will bolster public opinion that abortion is a fundamental human right.

In the final episode of Season One, we’re on the U.S.-Mexico border, meeting some of the women at the forefront of bringing the Green Wave to this country. On the cusp of an election that could change the course of reproductive rights for generations, their stories show us that the fight for bodily autonomy has no borders. In the face of extreme anti-abortion policies spearheaded by the religious right, that are actively harming pregnant people in Texas and many other States, the stories we feature in this episode show us a roadmap of how to reclaim our individual power by being part of a community. Our powerhouse guests include Verónica Cruz Sánchez, founder of Las Libres, an organization that helps women all over the globe have medication abortion; Dr. Roopan Gill, OBGYN and CEO and co-founder of Vitala Global, whose new app Aya Contingo - created with the help from the feminist movement in Latin America - provides resources for obtaining and using abortion pill; Nancy Cárdenas Peña, campaign director for Abortion On Our Own Terms, a national campaign advocating to make safe, effective, self-managed abortion accessible to all; Lourdes Rivera, the president of Pregnancy Justice, a national legal organization that advocates for and defends the rights of pregnant people in the U.S; Maria Consuelo Mejia, a devout Catholic who co-founded and became the Executive Director of Católicas por el Derecho a Decidir México; and Maria de Franco Quiñonez, Research Director and Nery Espinosa, Senior VP or Communications from Equis, a set of organizations that work to engage Latino voters in the U.S. Join us as we get ready to head to the polls!
