Today we are joined by Angela Salazar – Equity Programs Director and Marta Werbanowska Marketing and Brand Manager from the YWCA Arizona Chapter discussing various causes the organization is championing as well as some areas of concern. In the first part of the program, we discuss the total abortion ban that was passed in Arizona and the implications of that legislation.
In the second part of the show, we discuss how women’s bodies are legislated (and to what end), the connection between women’s rights and racial and economic justice, and how the next presidential election will shape the future for women.
Our Way Black History Fact comes from our comrade @chrisdier3 discussing the US Concentration Camps in the 1920s and another way the Government violated their agreements with Black Americans.

About Civic Cipher
Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward. This show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to engage directly with their communities as well as the general population. Self-determination is critical to securing a future free of oppressive systems, and Civic Cipher exists to facilitate discussions toward this end. Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.
