Episode 3 (with city-councilwoman) - 10:2:22, 8.51 PM.mp3Episode 3: Why Representation in Government Matters
Though a vast majority of the American citizens believed that people should have the right to an abortion if they choose to seek one, the Supreme Court was still able to overturn Roe v. Wade. Understandably, many Americans began to question our government, as it appeared to contradict their wants. On this episode, I am joined by a Camden City Council-Woman, Shaneka Boucher, as we discuss proper representation in the government, and ways to ensure that such huge decisions are never made under these circumstances again. Reiterated countless times in this episode, Ms. Boucher urges us all to take action and "go vote!".
