    Aug 15 2024
    What is "abusive dance"? That may seem like a strange question but for Mary Bawden, it's one she wants parents of all young dancers to be able to answer. Through DA:NCE (Dance Awareness No Child Exploited), Bawden is working to end what she calls the hypersexualization of girls in dance. In addition to being inappropriate, especailly for very young students, Bawden also says an oversexualized dance environment could invite groomers and traffickers.

  • Witness To Innocence: When The Death Penalty Debate Is Very Personal

    Witness To Innocence: When The Death Penalty Debate Is Very Personal
    Aug 6 2024
    For Herman Lindsey, the debate over the death penalty is personal. Very, very personal. That's because he was on Death Row, convicted of a crime for which he was eventually exonerated. In other words, he was scheduled to die for a crime he did not commit. Now Lindsey works to end the death penalty and currently-scheduled executions across the country, arguing that there are many others in the same situation he experienced. His work is through Witness To Innocence, which is profiled in this discussion.
