Shira Zemel — A New Chapter of the Fight

Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment.  Our guest this week is Shira Zemel, Director of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW)'s abortion access campaign. We discuss the ongoing fight for reproductive freedom, the current battle for medication abortion access, and what it means to be in community with intergenerational activists.
