Coming of a week where the country has witnessed tragic violence against women, today’s #FemFriday episode reflects on what can be done. But first, Nomiki opens by discussing Puerto Rican independence, and specifically the new bill introduced by AOC and Nydia Velázquez. Then, Shana Gallagher and Joseline Garcia from UN-PAC give us the lowdown on the legislation they’re pushing for, which would get big money out of politics and make it easier for people to vote. Finally, Jamei Peck and Francesca Fiorentini discuss hate crimes. as well as the new vote on the Violence Against Women Act.
