Shawna Potter, singer for the Baltimore punk band “War on Women,” has tackled sexism and harassment in lyrics, on stage, and through her work training staff in night clubs and community spaces to create safer environments for marginalized people. Making Spaces Safer is a concise guide to building a healthier, more inclusive culture in the music industry and cultural spaces of all kinds. With the help of the Vermont Department of Libraries and Fletcher Free Library, Big Heavy World invites Vermonters of every background to read and get together to talk about these topics that affect people we care about.
