Marianne Williamson is running for President, and she wants to clear up a few things about her campaign, which is grounded on an appeal to better not our policies but our souls. Alondra Nelson, a professor of sociology at Columbia University, and The New Yorker’s Joshua Rothman explore how new rules requiring affirmative consent aim to change how we behave sexually. And we meet a teen-age climate striker on a bench where she spends her Fridays protesting.

School Striking for Climate
Inspired by Greta Thunberg, a fourteen-year-old New Yorker spends her Fridays outside the United Nations, protesting government inaction on climate change.
