On this episode of She the People with Aimee Allison, we’re crunching numbers and getting grounded with political science professors. You’ll hear: an update from Equity Observer reporter L’Oreal Thompson Payton and Northwestern’s Tabitha Bonilla, PhD, about new polling demographics and information, plus Aimee’s conversation with Texas Woman’s University’s Christina Bejarano, PhD, and The Ohio State University’s Wendy Smooth, PhD. These academics shared their latest findings on women of color organizing on the ground and their work with the Kamala Harris Project. And stick around for our joyful noise segment at the end — dancing!
