(Molly Crabapple)
BY ALICIA GARZA | Safety is our most fundamental need, but the U.S. denies it to women—especially women of color. Every attack on our safety stands in the way of our freedom. We need to get serious about the problem with serious policy solutions.

In this episode, we’re thinking about the many ways in which girls and women in the U.S. are denied, passed over, and even cheated of opportunities they have earned.
