In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, abortion justice activists Amber Smith-Stewart and Annarella “Rivers” Rivera share what it was like serving time in federal prison after they were targeted by Biden's DOJ for spray-painting slogans on fake pregnancy clinics during the Summer of Rage after the fall of Roe v. Wade.

They talk about who they were locked up with (you won’t believe it!), how they got through it, some hot tips for activists and protestors in this upside down era of authoritarianism (on meth), and what’s next for them personally and politically.

I also dig into what’s happening now under Trump’s second term — from the blatant lies and disinformation around what constitutes ACTUAL reproductive healthcare to their pardoning of violent anti-abortion extremists — and the administration's quiet dismantling of federal protections for reproductive care clinics, defenders, patients, and activists.

If you missed Part 1, start there — it'll give you a fuller picture of how this all began.

And please, help me push this important story through the noise. The mainstream media and social media platforms are actively suppressing content on reproductive rights and justice. Like it, review it, subscribe to my channels!

The Summer of Rage. Two abortion justice activists. A system determined to silence dissent.

In my debut episode, Amber Smith-Stewart and Annarella “Rivers” Rivera share their story, from protesting Christian fake pregnancy clinics to facing federal charges under the FACE Act — bipartisan legislation from 1994 that was meant to dissuade anti-abortion violence.

In Part 1 of a two-part interview, we talk graffiti, the dangers and deceit of these fake clinics, and what it means to fight back when the feds come for you.
