In this episode of Earthsayers in Conversation, host Shannon interviews Alex, a pediatric and VA nurse, and a founding member of the Handmaids of Minnesota. This protest group uses the imagery from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale to highlight the erosion of women's rights in America. Alex shares her transformation from a first-time protester to a dedicated activist, explaining the significance of her Handmaid attire as a form of silent protest.

The discussion delves into the emotional toll of activism, including personal experiences with domestic violence and community loss. Alex emphasizes the need for inclusivity within the movement and her vision for future organization and mutual aid. She expresses hope that love and community can overcome political challenges.
