Description

Panelists: Megan Peterson, Gender Justice Executive Director and Monica Meyer, Gender Justice Political Director


2023 was truly a banner year for gender equity: from passing the Trans Refuge Bill to ending state funding for crisis pregnancy centers and repealing Minnesota’s unconstitutional and harmful abortion restrictions, Gender Justice supporters helped advance some of the most equitable policies in the country.


We know that there is much more work ahead to protect and expand abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and more—on this episode of The Gender Justice Brief, we outline our policy agenda to continue making progress towards gender equity.
