This Tuesday on Feminist Magazine, with co-hosts Lynn Harris Ballen & Kiyana Williams :: FIRST … Last week’s news of a guilty verdict for Bill Cosby‘s sexual assault of Andrea Constand was a huge victory. It’s been a long road to this point despite over sixty accusers coming forward – with a previous mistrial, and issues of statutes of limitations on rape prosecution, victim blaming and Cosby’s celebrity power. We hear from artist and Cosby assault survivor Lili Bernard and Professor Caroline Heldman about the journey to get to this point, their experiences at the trial and how this all fits into the #MeToo movement going forward.
PLUS … Up to 70,000 tenant households face eviction in LA County each year. And women-headed households are disproportionately affected. In the midst of displacement and gentrification and rent increases, Los Angeles is literally the worst city for Renters, according to new research. We talk to Elena Popp from local non-profit Eviction Defense Network about their legal services for tenants, their campaign to get the word out about renter rights with resource guide flyers #OnEveryFridge, and the state ballot initiative to repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act – to expand rent control options for cities across California
AND … Spring is here and the great outdoors is supposed to be a place of relaxation. But, the messages we’re sold about outdoor activities are that they are for mostly white, super-fit and affluent people. Bitch Magazine’s Popaganda recently focused on body positivity and how to deal with the anxieties people have around having their bodies being on display outside. And Sarah Mirk spoke with Unlikely Hikers creator Jenny Bruso about her experience being out in the woods as a self-identified fat, queer femme … and how her instagram account is taking on diversity, inclusion and representation.
