On this episode, Karolina Więckiewicz from the Abortion Dream Team talks about what’s happening in Poland, where people have been protesting ever since the government tried to pass a law to further restrict abortion. Karolina will talk about the protests, what the Abortion Dream Team has been doing, and what it's like to be an activist in Poland. We also talk about burnout among activists, and why it’s so important to take care of our mental health when doing this work.
