Description
EPISODE DESCRIPTION:In this episode, Koki interviews Heron Greenesmith, Esquire, former Senior Research Analyst for LGBTQ justice here at PRA and a policy attorney with over a decade of LGBTQ advocacy experience, to reflect back on 2023 as the worst year in anti-trans organizing, and look ahead at anti-trans organizing momentum and trends in 2024. Heron is presently Deputy Director of the Transgender Law Center, which recently released the Trans Agenda organizing statement. Drawing on their experience and research, Heron points to the small number of well-funded organizations that promote some of the loudest voices and finance some of the largest legal cases in the anti-trans movement. Covering anti-trans laws and bans around athletics, medical care, and schooling, Heron explains how anti-trans organizing is a core feminist concern.
