Description

More than 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced across the U.S. in the first half of this year alone. Reproductive rights remain under assault following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Immigration policies are leaving thousands in limbo. Deep racial divides still exist across healthcare, income, and beyond. But it’s no surprise there’s a wave of resistance on the front lines. Hear what’s really at stake and how to fight back for a more equitable future for all.
