We kick off season two by discussing the episode "Pawnee Zoo" with Anne Haley, a longtime political campaigner who worked on the ground to fight an anti-LGBT religious freedom bill in Arkansas. We talk with Anne about the portrayal of LGBTQ issues in media, Leslie's impassioned response to the call for her resignation, and her experiences on the campaign trail with Hillary for America. Anne also nominates prolific writer and transformative First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to our Wall of Inspirational Women.
