Lex McMenamin

Nicole Lewis, engagement editor at The Marshall Project, and Lex McMenamin, a writer and editor, dive into the complex perceptions of safety. They explore the difference between feeling unsafe and being unsafe, arguing that rhetoric often misrepresents real threats. Lex critiques the false sense of security created by tech and discusses how marginalized groups, like trans individuals, are wrongly portrayed as dangers. They advocate for community practices that foster real safety and suggest systemic reforms to ensure everyone feels secure.
