Anti-Trans Troll Legislation w/ Alejandra Caraballo

Description

The legislative war against the LGBTQ+ community has been relentless and according to powerhouse civil rights attorney Alejandra Caraballo it may get even worse next year. Conservative republicans have introduced over 500 state bills this year alone to deny healthcare, threaten businesses and allies, and to try to force LGBTQ+ folks back into closets and shadows. But there are things we can do - and the first thing is to congratulate Alejandra. 


This conversation was recorded in June (2023) when most of the legislative proposals were complete for the year.
