  • "I Took Care of Thousands of Patients, and Then I Became the Patient"

    "I Took Care of Thousands of Patients, and Then I Became the Patient"
    May 13 2021
    Dr. Antoinette Ward has been practicing nursing at one of the largest hospitals in Atlanta for more than 25 years. She spoke with Rose the first week of the shutdown in March of 2020. She firsthand saw the number of cases grow and came up with new protocols when there was no template. And suddenly, Antoinette went from seeing thousands of patients of week, testing thousands of patients for COVID, to becoming a patient herself. So many people can relate to this past year being a year that physically, spiritually, emotionally, takes the rug out from underneath you. This episode is dedicated to taking a time out, and reflecting on the journey of this past year with Dr. Antoinette Ward. A year in retrospect, Antoinette looks forward and reimagines a new future. If you haven’t heard her incredible story, you can go back to our episode, COVID19: On the Frontlines that aired on March 17 2020. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • After Aggressive and Unlawful Arrest, Rep. Park Cannon Persists at GA Legislature

    After Aggressive and Unlawful Arrest, Rep. Park Cannon Persists at GA Legislature
    Apr 29 2021
    Park Cannon was the youngest representative elected to Georgia’s state legislature in 2016 at the age of 24. Park is also the first openly queer state representative in the United States, and serves as the Secretary of the Georgia House Democrats - and she continues to practice medicine and is a doula and healthcare worker in Atlanta. You may remember a previous episode of The Women we interviewed Park during the Georgia Senate Runoffs back in January, when she talked about her experience growing up in rural Georgia, seeing firsthand the threats and violence of the KKK in her community, and she also spoke about the issues most important to her, among them getting out the vote - And you may know Park from a video that went viral just a few weeks ago, taken the day that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed the voter suppression bill, State Bill 202, as he was signing behind closed doors, Park was serving her constituents of the 58th district - which includes the Old Fourth Ward where Martin Luther King Jr was born - and - she began to knock on his door. Park was unlawfully arrested at the State Capitol building by the very officers who are supposed to be protecting her while in session at the legislature. When Park was released from jail, she had to seek medical attention and since then she can be seen wearing a sling on her left arm. Immea Immediately following her release from jail, Park resume her duties representing the 58th District. #ParkCannon #RoseReid #TheWomen #politics #GoodTrouble #Democrat #Progressive #votingrights #SB202 #POTUS #JoeBiden #Pelosi #voting #RighttoVote #KeepKnocking #StandWithPark #ProtectBlackWomen #GAPol #LGBTQ #BetterSolutionsForaBetterGeorgia #Millennials #ATL #StateFlipper Learn more about your ad choices.

  • What are the Dangerous Consequences of Georgia's New Voting Laws?

    What are the Dangerous Consequences of Georgia's New Voting Laws?
    Apr 8 2021
    All eyes are on Georgia. Again. Senate Bill 202, a 98-page document outlines new provisions restricting voting registration, voting by mail, and early voting. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a rushed bill in private chambers. Representative Park Cannon was arrested (!) for knocking (!) on his door during session. Delta, Coca-Cola, and Major League Baseball publicly criticized the measures, and Senate Republican Leadership Mitch McConnell and Governor Brian Kemp have threatened "serious consequences" to such companies that speak out against voting restrictions. To help make sense of what this means for real voters, voting rights activist Helen Butler joins The Women from the Coalition of the People's Agenda. Lauded by Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight as one of the fundamental grassroots 'hall of fame' organizers, Helen helps break down how the bill will impact voters in rural and urban areas. Tune back in two weeks for a conversation with Park Cannon about how she's fighting back after her arrest at the Georgia Capitol. ...and here's a primer on some of the provisions laid out by the Senate Bill 202 for you phone scrollers, linking to the New York Times: Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots. There are strict new ID requirements for absentee ballots. It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters. Drop boxes still exist … but barely. Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned. Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones. Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges. The Republican-controlled legislature has more control over the State Election Board. The secretary of state is removed as a voting member of the State Election Board. The G.O.P.-led legislature is empowered to suspend county election officials. Learn more about your ad choices.
