  6. The Fight for Trans Futures

    The Fight for Trans Futures

    Maria Hinojosa is joined by two trailblazers in the fight for trans rights: Chase Strangio, co-director of the ACLU’s LGBT and HIV Project, and Raquel Willis, journalist and co-founder of the Gender Liberation Movement. Chase recently made history as the first openly trans attorney to argue before the Supreme Court, challenging Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Raquel was recently arrested after staging a sit-in in a Capitol Hill bathroom to protest a bill aimed at banning trans people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity. Together, they discuss the fight for trans rights in the face of escalating attacks by the right, the powerful history of trans resistance, and what a future of gender liberation could look like.

    The Elián Effect: How One Boy’s Story Reshaped Latino Politics

    Maria Hinojosa is joined by investigative journalist Peniley Ramírez and Producer Tasha Sandoval as they commemorate the 25 year anniversary of the case of Elián González — the six-year-old boy found floating in an inner tube off the coast of Florida after his mother died attempting to flee from Cuba. The custody battle that ensued led to a media firestorm and an international controversy that changed the course of history. Maria, Peniley and Tasha talk about what this case can teach us about today’s political landscape, the rightward shift in Miami-Dade, and the Republican party’s strategy to pull Latinos to the right.
