March 9, 2017 – Segment 1 democracyincrisislogo

We begin the show with the newest episode of Democracy in Crisis, a weekly podcast hosted by Baynard Woods and Marc Steiner and produced by Mark Gunnery for Center for Emerging Media. This week we talk with Emily Bazelon, staff writer at the New York Times Magazine, who joins us to discuss her latest piece called “Department of Justification,” which reveals the long-shared vision of Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and Jeff Sessions. Then we turn to the International Women’s Day Strike with Kate D. Griffiths, who is on the U.S. National Organizing Committee for the strike. Griffiths co-authored an article for The Nation entitled “Striking on International Women’s Day Is Not a Privilege.”
