This week Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco talk to Executive Director of the New Georgia Project Nsé Ufot about her battle to preserve voting rights in her state and what motivates her to keep fighting. Then, we break down the flurry of Republican bills attacking trans youth and discuss the Washington Post temporarily barring journalist Felicia Somnez from reporting on sexual assault.
