Out d’Coup LIVE | Alyssa Bowen from True North Research on right-wing dark money funding anti-abortion push to take over state governments

<p>On this week's show, I welcome Alyssa Bowen back to the program. Alyssa is a Senior Researcher and Managing Editor at the progressive watchdog organization <a href='https://truenorthresearch.org/'>True North Research</a>. Tonight our  focus turns to the right-wing dark money that is funding the anti-abortion movement's push to take over state legislatures and deepen the devastation wrought by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. </p> <p>Alyssa received her PhD in History from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 2021 with an interest in fascism and antifascism, solidarity and social movements, immigration/exile and transnational history. She has bylines in the Nation and in Truthout, where she is a regular contributor. More of her public writing can be found on <a href='https://truenorthresearch.org/'>True North Research’s website</a> and Substack. Follow Alyssa on Twitter <a href='https://twitter.com/AlyssaAnnBowen'>@AlyssaAnnBowen</a>.</p> <p>We'll be talking about two of Alyssa's recent co-authored articles for TruthOut, "Dark Money Fuels the Anti-Abortion Movement's Push to Control State Legislatures" and "Right-Wing Dark Money is Coming for Reproductive Rights in Your State."
