Despite the blue wave shifting much of the country’s representation in last week’s midterms, Washington State, along with several other states, voted to ban trans girls from participating in K-12 girl’s sports. Today on the show, interim host Liam Billingham speaks with the Director at Gender Justice League, Danni Askini, and producer Sam J. Leeds to break down what’s ahead in the legal fight against the passage of I-638. They get into the lawsuit the ACLU of Washington and Pacifica Law Group filed on Monday, common misconceptions about the initiative, and what role unions have played in the fight for LGBTQ rights. Danni also explains why the parental bill of rights, I-001, which also impacted LGBTQ+ youth, was voted down while the trans sports ban passed.  Learn more about the sponsors of this November 11th episode: Argosy Cruises Urban Craft Uprising Want to get in touch?

City Cast Partner Studios presents Weaving Our Future: Stories for a Fair Economy, a five-part series on what a fair economy looks like in King County, told through the people building it. Celeste Levy, Communications Coordinator at the Statewide Poverty Action Network, and Danielle Palmer Friedman, Communications Lead at the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, join Jane C. Hu on this episode of Weaving Our Future: Stories for a Fair Economy to talk about why housing stability and a basic income floor are the foundation everything else is built on. They dig into what the Poverty Action Network is hearing directly from people across the state right now, how the Coalition’s Health Through Housing program is actually getting people stably housed, and where their two different corners of this work — economic security and homelessness policy — actually overlap.
