LGBTQ+ Advocacy: an interview with Gia Drew of EqualityMaine

Join us as we kick off our 2026 Summer Season with an interview with Gia Drew (she/her) of EqualityMaine! In this episode, we chat LGBTQ+ advocacy in Maine, finding joy in movement work, and fighting against attacks on the trans community. Speaking of attacks on the trans community--as of the airing of this episode, the anti-trans ballot question is now slated to no longer be on the ballot this November. Hooray! Those who are advocating for this ballot question (boo) are trying to appeal this decision as over 12,000 signatures were invalidated, leaving the initiative without enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. We will keep you up to date as this situation develops, but this update is good news. Learn more: https://www.equalitymaine.org/ https://www.freeandfairschools.com/ Image: EqualityMaine logo
