Recode Decode: Deeds Not Words' Wendy Davis

from Decoder with Nilay Patel · host The Verge

Former Texas State Senator Wendy Davis -- most famous for her filibuster to stop legislation that would severely restrict abortions in that state -- talks with Kara Swisher about her new digital initiative Deeds Not Words, which hopes to mobilize young women into political action. She discusses her history of confronting misogyny and discrimination, both in real life and online, and why progress in women's rights has been so slow. Davis thinks women must forcefully call out attempts to silence them and learn to put a human face on grim statistics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
