Join us for an hour of conversation and readings from a new collection of feminist essays that have never been more relevant. Believe Me asks us to imagine a world in which we not only believe women, but act as though the things they report – harassment, sexual assault, and calls for justice – are urgently important.
Moderator, Claire Potter, co-Executive Editor, Public Seminar
Jaclyn Friedman, author, activist, and editor of Believe Me
Samantha Irby, New York Times best-selling author
Tatiana Maslany, Emmy-winning actor
Sabrina Hersi Issa, CEO of Be Bold Media, and founder of Survivor Fund
This webinar is sponsored by Public Seminar, a journal of politics and culture based at The New School for Social Research. You can register here.
