Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - Weathering the storm: GA's trans community & climate change activism
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
With just five days before the inauguration of a second Donald Trump term, the trans community in Georgia (and throughout the U.S.) has had to weather a storm of antir-trans sentiment; some of it put to use by the Trump campaign. I checked in with Jeff Graham, executive director for Georgia Equality, to get a sense what their activism can accomplish with a decidely-conservative state legislature and GOP governor likely angling to solidify his conservative bonafides ahead of a potential Senate or Presidential run. Speaking of weathering and storms, the founding director of End Climate Silence, Dr. Genevieve Guenther (author of "The Language of Climate Politics") joined me to add her immense credibility to correct a wave of disinformation as the Eaton/Palisades wildfires ravage southern California. Oh, and reviewing Jon Stewart's blistering of hypocritical Republicans in DC seeking to add conditions to aid was worth a review, too.
