Podcasts about casa ruby

Casa Ruby was once a vibrant shelter offering essential services to Washington D.C.'s vulnerable and at-risk LGBTQ+ community. The non-profit shelter was the vision of Ruby Corado, an activist born in El Salvador, who dedicated her life to advocating for gay and transgender individuals. Her efforts garnered numerous awards and helped her secure millions in government grants and donations from wealthy philanthropists. However, suddenly the shelter closed, and Corado fled the country.

There's a big fight going on over adding more flights to DCA — which side should you be on? Plus, Britt Peterson is here to talk about her Washingtonian expose about the scandal that brought down Casa Ruby, a once-celebrated refuge for Trans kids in D.C. And City Cast DC's Priyanka Tilve is here with some Juneteenth events you gotta attend. Check out these stories that fueled our episode:  Cuneyt Dil from Axios has the latest on the DCA fight.
