The Anti-Pay-Toilet Fight (1973)
It's February 27th. This day in 1973, the City of Chicago is converting all of its pay toilets to free toilets.
Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss the grassroots movement and years-long fight over pay toilets -- and why public restrooms have always been such contested spaces.
