By Ms. Editors | This month, the powerful new documentary Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print, celebrating the trailblazing history and enduring impact of Ms. magazine, premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival. With intimate interviews, rare archival footage and excerpts from the Ms. book, 50 Years of Ms.: The Best of the Pathfinding Magazine That Ignited a Revolution (September 2023, Knopf), the filmmakers shine a spotlight on the magazine’s early days as a radical force for feminism, equality and truth-telling.
It’s a thrilling and timely reminder: Ms. has always named the problem—and we still do.
If you’re in New York City June 10-15, we’d love for you to see it! If you can’t make it to a screening, don’t worry: The film will stream on HBO Max starting in July.

By Jasmine Mithani and Mel Leonor Barclay, The 19th | Over the last four decades, the United States has built a web of federal policies and funding to address domestic and intimate partner violence, a pervasive health and safety crisis.
In just 130 days, the Trump administration has put that safety net in jeopardy.
Funding pauses, cuts, firings and information purges have destabilized the infrastructure that helps victims of abuse. At the same time, federal teams dedicated to preventing sexual violence are being decimated. Departments in charge of administering grants that fund shelters for those fleeing assault have been deemed “duplicative, DEI or simply unnecessary.”
“I am horrified,” said Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), who has detailed her experience as a victim of domestic violence. “Maybe it’s not intentional, but it’s very dangerous as a survivor of domestic violence—a survivor in the days where there was no crisis line to call … no information to be able to stand up for yourself. There was no shelter to go to.”

By Aisha Nyandoro | We are living in challenging times. Fundamental rights are under attack, the economy is teetering on the edge of a recession, and our already-insufficient social safety net’s holes grow larger by the day. It is never easy to live in poverty in America, but the past four-plus months have managed to make a bad situation worse.
As I often say, policy only changes at the speed of narrative. And unless we start truly listening to the real stories of families living in poverty—with all their challenges, joys, complications and layers—we won’t be able to change poverty policy in this country.

[link removed] [[link removed]] Tune in for a new episode of Ms. magazine's podcast, On the Issues with Michele Goodwin on
Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
In this emergency episode, we’re ringing the alarm bells: We just learned that in the state of Georgia, a woman named Adriana Smith, who passed away in February, and has been declared brain-dead, is being forcibly kept on a ventilator due to the state’s strict abortion ban, against her family’s wishes. Dr. Michele Goodwin breaks down Adriana Smith’s case, and the cases of other women who, like Smith, have been disrespected and desecrated in death thanks to abortion bans and pregnancy exclusion laws.
We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
