Description

In the fourth and final installment of the Betches Sup series "Queerantine History," Bryan is joined by Chris Burns (aka Fat Carrie Bradshaw) to chat with Elle Hearns, transgender rights activist and founder of the Martha P. Johnson Institute. They start with a conversation about the legacy of Martha P. Johnson, how the institute aims to protect and defend the human rights of black transgender people, and the ways the black trans movement has led the fight against police brutality. Plus, they discuss the concept of allyship and collaborative solidarity, the reasons why Pride has been so exhausting this year, and how you can get involved to help support MPJI.
