Voting Rights: When They Warn You, Believe Them

2025-10-17

This week on The Women’s Lounge, we sound the alarm: our voting rights are under attack. The Supreme Court has become more conservative than it’s been in decades, chipping away at everything from reproductive freedom to worker protections. And now, the right to vote — the foundation of every other right — is on the line. Women — especially women of color — have always been the force that turns the tide.

This week on The Women’s Lounge, we sound the alarm: our voting rights are under attack. The Supreme Court has become more conservative than it’s been in decades, chipping away at everything from reproductive freedom to worker protections. And now, the right to vote — the foundation of every other right — is on the line.

Women — especially women of color — have always been the force that turns the tide. We’ve fought too hard to lose ground now.

As the nation hits Day 14 of a government shutdown, we connect the dots between policy and reality — how lost paychecks, closed shelters, and political gridlock hit women the hardest. But we also spotlight what’s possible. In California, Proposition 50 could expand democracy and return power to the people who’ve been written out for too long.

This episode is a rallying cry to rise up, organize, and take action like everything depends on it — because it does. When they warn you, believe them. And then, fight back.

You can listen now wherever you get your podcast. New episodes drop every Friday.
