Alaska is the deadliest state for women, with 59% having experienced violence. I’m Lindsay Schnell, a national correspondent for USA TODAY, who recently traveled to Alaska to report on domestic violence. I’m joined by Elizabeth Williams, an Anchorage-based activist. Ask us anything!Hey everyone! I’m Lindsay Schnell, and I wrote last week on why Alaska has abnormally high rates of domestic violence, sexual assault and murder of women.
On Friday, Attorney General William Barr declared a public safety “emergency” in Alaska, directing more than $10 million in immediate law enforcement aid to largely rural communities ravaged by domestic violence and sexual abuse. I’m a national correspondent based in Portland, Oregon. I cover issues in the West and nationally I focus on the intersection of religion and politics. I’ve been at USA TODAY since September 2017. I was a sports writer for the first decade of my career, and previously worked at Sports Illustrated and The Oregonian.
Elizabeth Williams, an Anchorage-based activist, is joining me today to talk about why Alaska is so dangerous for women. Elizabeth Williams is a social worker in Anchorage, Alaska. She and her younger brother started No More Free Passes in response to the infamous Justin Schneider case. No More Free Passes successfully voted out the judge, changed the laws, and are now working to change how Alaska prosecutes sexual assaults.
