On the 1 year anniversary of the devastating US Supreme Court Dobbs decision, which overturned the constitutional right to an abortion, I have the honor to speak with Libby Schaaf, former two term mayor of Oakland and interim executive director of Emerge California.
We discuss her journey to public office, why we need to elect more pro-choice women into all levels of government, and what it really means for women to "step into your own power".
In this episode you’ll learn:
2:20 - How Emerge California is nurturing the next generation of CA leaders
8:00 - How we fight back after the Dobbs decision
10:52 - If you’re uncomfortable it means you’re growing

17:47 - How to breakthrough to reach legislators
22:19 - Set your sights on local office
28:42 - One last piece of advice
