By Ava Slocum | “I never, even for a single second, gave my consent to Mr. Pelicot or those other men.”
Halfway through the mass rape trial in France that has been shocking the world and brewing feminist rage since September, survivor Gisèle Pelicot took the stand for the first time on Wednesday to share her nightmarish story.

By DoSomething Editors | In this intense moment in the fight against racial injustice and the COVID-19 crisis, we can’t separate the fight for racial equity from the fight against climate change, and we must look at environmental justice as an anti-racist act.

[link removed] [[link removed]] Listen to the latest Ms. Studios podcast The Z Factor: Gen Z's Voice & Vote — now on Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
In our opening episode, I want to level-set by learning a bit about Generation Z as a whole. What are we thinking about? What do we care about? And I thought we’d dive into that with some good old-fashioned polling. I’m thrilled to welcome Anil Cacodcar, the student chair of the Harvard Public Opinion Project, which has been conducting the leading biannual poll of young Americans in the country for over two decades.
We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
