ROAD TO GILEAD – Epstein Files with Carole Cadwalladr and The Nerve
The Guilty Feminist and The Nerve come together to present the latest event on the theme of The Road to Gilead. The far right is relentless, well organised and well funded. So much so, in the USA, things are looking more and more like flashback scenes in the dystopian Handmaid’s Tale. ‘Christian’ nationalists have been in the UK for over a decade getting into positions of influence and are working hard on stripping back our rights. It’s time to fight back, get strategic and organise.
The Nerve is a fearless, female-founded media title set up by a collective of five former Guardian and Observer journalists. We believe that the UK needs more truly independent journalism – and that having nerve is the key quality the world needs right now. Our beat is politics, culture and technology.
The Guilty Feminist is an award-winning comedy/activist podcast with 180 million downloads. It has an activated following of people who believe you don’t have to be perfect to be a force for meaningful change.
Guest co-host is the wonderful Ria Lina and the show will feature the amazing Carole Cadwalladr and incredible investigative journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley as we look at the Epstein victims. Come join the fight!

It identifies intensified backlash against girls’ and women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights, and documents how the rights of girls and women are under a coordinated, well-funded attack at the highest levels of global decision-making.
Our guests will be Claire Mahon, award-winning international human rights expert and the founder of the Global Human Rights Group, a Geneva-based consulting firm and NGO; and Julia Rowland, Human Rights Officer at the Global Human Rights Group. Guest co-host Jessica Fostekew.

Join The Guilty Feminist and their bold new initiative, The Road to Gilead Project, for a live show that blends humour with radical hope.
Since 2016, The Guilty Feminist podcast has racked up over 180 million downloads by examining the noble goals of 21st century feminism and the hypocrisies and insecurities that undermine them. It’s the show that proves you don’t have to be perfect to be a force for meaningful change. The Road to Gilead Project aims to ignite connection and action that will bring about hope and resistance against the far right.
Gilead is a pop culture shorthand from Margaret Atwood’s dystopian Handmaid’s Tale vision that we now see rising in the west. We welcome the questioning and the committed alike to come together in honest conversation about how we might form real coalitions for change and how we resist the slide towards oppression and power abuse with courage, creativity and collective joy. Expect big laughs, bold ideas and a room full of people who believe a better world is possible, even if we sometimes feel like we’re winging it. Come join host Deborah Frances-White and her fellow comedians, activists and guests to be part of this joyful, defiant movement.
