Trans Resistance in Texas + Righteous Outrage in the Streets to Keep Abortion Legal

from Refuse Fascism · host Refuse Fascism

Sam Goldman interviews Juniper Porter, an activist with Trans Resistance of Texas (TROT) - an organization that recently held a die-in on the steps of the Texas State Capitol in support of trans rights (see press coverage). Follow @TRoT on Twitter and find more actions against the tsunami of anti-trans laws in states across the country at tearitup.org. One correction from Juniper on the number of anti-trans bills in Texas last session: the actual figures include 30 anti-LGBT bills, 13 of which are specifically directed at trans people. Then, we share some of the voices of abortion rights protesters who took to the streets yesterday in cities around the country, as we approach the tipping point this spring against the right to safe, legal abortion in this country. If the US Supreme Court overturns or guts Roe v. Wade, 26 states are certain or likely to ban abortion. Only the people can stop this - join the organizing summit on Zoom Saturday, April 16.
