    In this episode of Women in America, hosts Pari and Eve tackle the epic fallout from the U.S. government grinding to a halt.

    With tensions high on Capitol Hill, Congressman Seth Magaziner joins the show to deliver an insider’s account of the dramatic hours before the shutdown. He pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes negotiations, partisan standoffs and last-minute scramble that brought Congress to a standstill.

    Magaziner argues that Republicans have overplayed their hand, especially on healthcare, and predicts the political fallout could be severe.

    Pari and Eve are public health professionals who have dedicated their 15-year careers to fighting for global reproductive rights. When Roe v. Wade was overturned, they felt compelled to turn their attention to domestic activism; growing their decade-long friendship into an advocacy partnership committed to educating the American public on the importance of gender equality, and specifically women’s healthcare. Seeing a major gap in the presence of qualified public health voices on social media, Pari and Eve established a trusted digital presence that elevates women’s voices and combats misinformation on health issues. Their Instagram and TikTok accounts facilitate evidence-based learning on a range of sexual and reproductive health topics, highlighting the intersectionality of health with human rights and social justice. Pari and Eve went viral after launching a “Women in America” series focused on the daily inequities that women in the U.S. experience economically, environmentally, in health care, at work, and more - garnering over 25M views across both platforms. Pari and Eve are a go-to amplifier for health and justice. Some of their previous social media clients include: Reproductive Freedom For All, Plan C, Jen Psaki, and ACLU. In their professional careers, Pari and Eve have worked for the United Nations, U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Planned Parenthood, Population Reference Bureau, CARE and more. They have served consulting clients such as the DC Abortion Fund and Emory University. For more on Pari and Eve, visit their website at www.pariandeve.com.
