Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco interview activist Amanda Nguyen, the founder and CEO of civil rights accelerator Rise, to talk about gamifying lawmaking and seeking justice for rape survivors across the globe. Then, in news, Erin and Alyssa assess the current state of the fight for abortion rights on multiple stages: the streets, medical facilities, and the courts. Next, Tien Tran and Julissa Arce join to talk about changing your name, à la J. Lo turned Jennifer Affleck. Finally, the best of both worlds: a little I Feel Petty and a little Sanity Corner.
