For Three Decades, ‘Remember My Name’ Has Memorialized Those Lost to Domestic Violence
Created in 1994 in partnership with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) and Ms. magazine, the “Remember My Name” project continues to raise awareness of individuals who have died from domestic violence.
We owe it to those who have died because of domestic violence, to every survivor, and every person actively planning for their safety, to do better. As we near the end of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and reflect on the 30 years since “Remember My Name” launched, we remember the people who have died because of domestic violence by saying their names. Loudly. Often. We need people to hear their stories, demand better tracking and reporting at all levels to fully understand this crisis, and work towards a day where we can stop adding names to the list.

The Z Factor, Episode 1: What Do Young Voters Want?
In the opening episode of The Z Factor, host Anoushka Chander—a student at Harvard, a Ms. Studios intern and a Gen Zer herself—wants to level-set by learning a bit about Generation Z as a whole. What are they thinking about? What do they care about? She dives into some good old-fashioned polling—with help from guest Anil Cacodcar, student chair of the Harvard Public Opinion Project, which has been conducting the leading biannual poll of young Americans in the country for over two decades.

Greedflation: Corporate Profits Are the Driver of High Prices
Depending on who’s doing the talking, inflation can be blamed on President Joe Biden or on his predecessor, Donald Trump. But one—and perhaps the greatest—driver of higher prices lies under the radar: corporate profits.
Women are the majority of the population, the majority of registered voters and the majority of those who actually show up at the polls. Let’s hope they do their homework and remember in November which candidates are coziest with the profit-mongering corporations picking their pocketbooks.
