Hi, I'm Isaac Dover and welcome to Off Message.

Our guest today, Sophia Bush, actress and activist.

You may know her from One Tree Hill or her current show, Chicago PD.

Or you may know her from social media.

She's got 1.9 million followers on Twitter and 2.9 million followers on Instagram. That is a lot.

We sat down at the collision conference in New Orleans, but she talked about some of those

crazy onset stories that she's had, how dealing with some of the sexism she's encountered

has challenged her and what she's done to respond to that, both as an activist and as an artist.

First, we're going to have a conversation with Kerry Budoff Brown.

My friend, our editor here at Politico, and the host of the Women Rule podcast, which is a great podcast.
