Preparing for a second Trump administration | Gender-affirming, sustainable clothes

from Bridging Philly · host Audacy

When Donald Trump was elected for a second presidential term, the reaction from many marginalized communities was fear - immigrants fearing they’ll be deported, trans and nonbinary people fearing they’ll lose the ability to live as themselves, women fearing they’ll lose access to reproductive health care. Philadelphia is a Democratic city that voted against Trump and has many protections in place, and City Councilmember Rue Landau has initiated hearings to make sure those protections stay in place. She joins host Racquel Williams along with Jasmine Rivera, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Immigration Coalition, to discuss what the city and local organizations are preparing for ahead of Inauguration Day.Then, on Shara in the City, Sisters Affirming Sisterhood distributes identity affirming clothing to the trans community, and repurposes donated clothes to promote sustainable fashion. Shara Dae Howard visits to help them organize clothes, and learns how to strut on the runway from a ballroom queen.
