Fifty Feminist States

In this episode, we hear from Diane Sands, a current senator in the Montana senate who has a long history of feminist activism in the state. She discusses the progressive history that has made Montana one of the more radical Mid/Mountain-west states and the work she’s done to keep it that way. Amelia also speaks with Aspen Hougan, a volunteer for the Montana Racial Equity Project, about the reality of racial injustice in Montana and building racial literacy in the state. Highlights include: “You've just got to learn to stretch your eyes.” [5:00] Generalist feminism + making it up in the Midwest [11:35 - 14:45] Dismantling Hatred workshop [22:50 - 25:30] Follow: Fifty Feminist States on Instagram and iTunes
