Protestors in Chile fought for a referendum on basic civil rights. And it worked. They achieved what the United States has avoided doing since its foundation: they rewrote the constitution. This new document faces ratification in a few days. And it could become the first constitution in the world to enshrine abortion rights as one of its founding principles.

In this episode, Kate and Jamia talk to some of the folks behind this historic movement. They learn just what goes into rewriting a country’s legal guide: how to say goodbye to an old model of lawmaking, how to learn from the mistakes of constitutions past, and how to write a new founding document as diverse as the country it’s meant to serve.

If you’re looking to take action in the fight for access to reproductive care, head to ActBlue’s directory to donate directly to reproductive justice groups and abortion funds across the country. ActBlue’s online fundraising platform is designed to support you as you support others, which is why they’re trusted by the millions of small-dollar donors who are driving meaningful, people-powered change.
