Host: Noah Parrish, Gender Justice Communications Director

Guests: Jay Belsito, Gender Justice Organizer, and B. Wilson, BIPOC Educators’ Collective co-founder

We all have a role to play in defending trans lives, and today’s conversation aims to engage allies and those who want to be stronger advocates. We’ll explore ways to push back against harmful rhetoric, foster understanding, and take action to support the trans community.

At our monthly Trans Equity Trainings convened by Gender Justice organizer Jay Belsito, participants learn how best to talk about the issues that impact transgender people, find ways to take action to combat the rising tide of violence against trans people, and meet others who are passionate about the fight for trans equity and empowerment.

Our guests for this episode are Gender Justice organizer Jay Belsito, who convenes the trans equity training series, and community educator B. Wilson, co-founder of the BIPOC Educators’ Collective
