Three sessions centered on the Supreme Court

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court made a decision that altered the landscape of reproductive rights when it overturned Roe v. Wade. Now the Court is posed to reshape other aspects of American life with what seems like a record number of far-reaching cases, many of which will have implications for Washington state.

Crosscut readers have been learning about these cases and the implications for our communities in our stories about affirmative action, the adoption of Native American children and our recent Crosscut/Elway poll. In the coming weeks, other Court-related coverage will focus on topics including immigration and religious accommodations for workers.

Members of our community can join a live conversation about the 2023 season of the Supreme Court at the Crosscut Ideas Festival during two virtual sessions. On Tuesday at 9 a.m., pollster Stuart Elway and Crosscut reporter Mai Hoang will talk about our April poll on the Supreme Court. On Friday at 9 a.m. Crosscut reporter Megan Burbank will interview Judith Arcana, former member of an abortion underground, about reproductive health before Roe. And on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in person, Dahlia Lithwick will do a live taping of the Amicus podcast focused on the Supreme Court.

Tickets to virtual and in-person sessions at the Crosscut Ideas Fest are available on Crosscut.com.
