Basquiat highlights the annual conference of Safety Net, an organization that seeks to assist people associated with the practice of plural marriage, whether an active polygamist or exiting polygamist. Safety Net strives for neutrality toward the actual practice of plural marriage so they can "meet physical, emotional, and educational needs." The goal of their annual conferences is to increase awareness of the issues surrounding the practice of plural marriage, present individual stories of polygamy, and discuss resources available to those wanting to leave polygamous family structures. Among other things, Basquiat talks about how critical ethnography changed her mind about polygamy.
