  • Chalk Back
    Chances are, you or someone you know has been catcalled. Street harassment, unwanted public interactions of a sexual nature, is still very prevalent in 2020. So much so that when Sophie Sandberg created Catcalls of NYC, a school project to address her own experiences, she’d planted the seeds for what would grow into a worldwide movement. Sophie joins us this week to discuss Catcalls of NYC, Chalk Back, and the powerful method of raising awareness to this widespread issue that she found in public chalk art.

  • DemExit
    For four years, we’ve been told to vote blue no matter who. Told that regardless of who the Democratic Party’s nominee for president ended up being, we needed to support them wholeheartedly. And while that’s worked for many of us, there are people within the party growing tired of the status quo. This episode, we talk to Anja from DemExit, a movement encouraging disillusioned voters to break with the Democrats and vote for a third party candidate in November’s presidential election.
