Episode Description
Tune in live for the first episode in this quarterly series by the founder of New Legacy Institute, and the host of New Legacy Radio, Christine J. Erickson. Throughout this series, Christine will discuss current events impacting our community, the purpose and role of New Legacy Institute and the ongoing work of the Institute. She will share some of the key reasons why she started the Institute, and the role we all can play to effect change that impacts us, solely based on our reproductive and relationship experiences, as legally and otherwise defined, which directly discriminate against us. Christine will also share her thoughts on people without children as a collective community, and her vision of what she believes is possible. Amidst all of the work that is to be done to take action for social, economic and political change for our community, there is also much to celebrate, given our diverse journeys, and the breadth and depth of talent, contributions and life experience we possess. Christine deeply values and celebrates who we are as people without children, and believes it is time for us to come together to build and elevate our community's public power and for our experiences and expertise to be in integral part of influencing decision-making processes, policy development, workplace benefits, and legal protections, among others, which directly impact our daily lives, and beyond.
