Recently, Dawson has been seen campaigning with Bernie Sanders and she was even arrested last month in Washington, D.C. after taking part in a Democracy Spring protest. She was there protesting the role of big money in politics and restrictive voter identification laws. She’s taken her role of activist very seriously and any chance she gets to get the conversation started about issues that affect women, she lends her voice.
“You’ve probably heart of the oft-quoted statistic that women make 77 cents to the dollar compared to their male counterparts, but that’s just for non-Hispanic white women — when you break it down by race, African American women make 64 percent of what white men make in the same field, and Hispanic and Latina women make even less at 54% (Asian American women actually make 90% as much as white men do, but only 79% as much compared to Asian American men),” explains Dawson to MTV.
Dawson’s most recent project is an online talk show called My Peoples, which debuted just a couple of days ago, where she talked about the upcoming elections, race gender, and a lot more. The online talk show is broadcasted live every Sunday at 8 p.m. PST, so check it out!
