This live Lady Don’t Take No finds Alicia Garza sitting down with the Mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, in the majestic Castro Theater at the Lesbians Who Tech San Francisco Summit. Garza asks Breed to break down what’s happening with policing in SF, the Dream Keepers Initiative, and the worst and best parts of running the city.

This week’s roundup focuses racist LA City Council members, friends who shouldn’t let friends Kanye, sex strikes, and Georgia debates. 

Plus, a brand new Lady’s Love Notes on how to navigate rebound relationships
