Mentees Ilana Drake and Keti Akhalbedashvili have written a piece for YR Media discussing their reactions to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, showing how this decision affects their communities and personal lives.
Drake is the granddaughter of second-wave feminist, Rebecca Lubetkin, who fought for Title IX and abortion rights at the national and state levels since the early 1970s. Because of this, Drake said that “feminism and fighting is ingrained in my DNA.”
