As we reckon with an administration hostile to equal rights, feminists will continue to fight. To help keep hope, we must remember and celebrate recent wins. One of those wins is the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which took effect on June 27, 2023. This is a landmark piece of legislation that prohibits discrimination and ensures workplace accommodations related to pregnancy for workers. But is the PWFA safe, or will it be threatened by the Trump Administration's crusade against reproductive rights and justice?Joining us to discuss the history and significance of the PWFA is our very special guest, Dina Bakst: Dina Bakst is the co-founder and former co-president of A Better Balance, a national nonprofit legal advocacy organization that uses the power of the law to advance justice for workers. Bakst was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for the Economy for A Better Balance's successful work advancing work-family justice in 2021, and the first-ever Visionary Women Award for Women's Economic Empowerment in 2022.  In 2020, she was named one of “16 People and Groups Fighting For a More Equal America” by Time Magazine. Prior to co-founding A Better Balance, Dina was an attorney with the NOW Legal Defense & Education Fund (now Legal Momentum) where she pursued litigation and policy advocacy on a wide range of women's rights issues.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

Are Latinx immigrants and transgender people the canaries in the coal mine for the new Trump administration? Alejandra Caraballo, Esq., a clinical instructor in the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard University Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, reflects on future challenges, historical precedents, and what we can do. Before joining Harvard, Caraballo worked as a staff attorney with the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, and at the LGBTQ Law Project at New York Legal Assistance Group, where she focused on immigration and family law.

Experienced analysts like former Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund legal director David Brown (interviewed by David Hunt) are praising progressive U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ketanji Brown-Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan for their questioning of Tennessee Solicitor General Matthew Rice about his state's ban on pediatric gender-affirming healthcare, but the trans man of the hour is the American Civil Liberties Union's Chase Strangio, who became the first transgender attorney to argue a case before the nation's top court. And in NewsWrap: the United Kingdom's temporary ban on puberty blockers for transgender young people will remain in force “indefinitely,” U.K. military veterans who were booted from the armed forces for being queer are now eligible for compensation, the U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear a challenge to a Wisconsin school district's pro-trans policies, Montana's Supreme Court backs a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of a state ban on pediatric gender-affirming healthcare, the opening of Warsaw's QueerMuzeum far exceeded organizers' expectations, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Michael LeBeau and Ava Davis (produced by Brian DeShazor).

Just ahead of winter, natural gas provider Summit Utilities is asking the Arkansas Public Service Commission to approve another rate increase that will impact more than 400,000 Arkansas residents. Summit Utilities has been gouging Arkansas residents and taxpayers since their purchase of CenterPoint Energy in 2022, constantly increasing their rates with no regard for the financial burden this places on hard-working families. On this episode of The Folding Chair we talk with Sylvia Brown about how Arkansans can make their voices heard on this proposed rate increase and what are our next steps. Curious. Resourceful. Social Impact Advocate. Public Policy Strategist. Sylvia C. Brown is a multi-faceted professional with 20+ years of experience implementing and supporting local, state, and federal government electoral and issue campaigns and grassroots community engagement. Sylvia launched Visibility Outreach Touch Engage South AR (VOTE SoAR), to till the soil for citizen-led activism and engaging neighbors on the issues and solutions important to them through relevant communication channels and methods and trusted messengers. Brown is Director of Strategic Operations for Ruralorganizing.org Education Fund. The role is a mix of human resources, organization management, development and strategic thinking on civic infrastructure building and public policy opportunities for rural advocates and practitioners.

It is rare to feel enlightened, deeply distressed and optimistic during a single conversation. I experienced all of that with Manjit Singh, co-founder of the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, (SALDEF), my guest on this episode of Power Station. His formative years in India during the 1980s were shaped by conflict and violence against Sikhs, a faith that values and practices humility, service, equality and social justice. Sikhism originated in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent in the 15th century A.D. and is practiced by 25 million adherents globally. Since its founding in 1996, SALDEF has become a powerful force for protecting the civil rights of America's 700,000 Sikhs, ensuring their representation in civic life, from the Census to voting and standing up against discrimination. The work is critical: according to FBI data, Sikh's are the second most targeted religious community for hate crimes in the United States. SALDEF, led by Kiran Kaur Gill, brings expertise and strategic savvy to educating public agencies and corporations about the community, advancing policy solutions to systemic challenges and building the next generation of powerful Sikh leaders. What Manjit has built is now a multigeneration movement to embrace.

In April, an unprecedented lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of California challenging the state's death penalty statute as racially discriminatory and unconstitutional under the Equal Protection guarantees of the California Constitution. The filers which include the ACLU, LDF (Legal Defense Fund), and the Office of the State Public Defender on behalf of OSPD, Witness to Innocence, LatinoJustice PRLDEF (Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund), the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and Eva Paterson, co-founder of the Equal Justice Society, claim, “This is the first time a petition of this nature has been filed with the court.” “Numerous empirical studies by leading social science experts reveal troubling disparities: Black people are about five times more likely to be sentenced to death when compared to similarly situated non-Black defendants, while Latino people are at least three times more likely to be sentenced to death.” The 95-page complaint stated, “The parties agree that persistent and pervasive racial disparities infect California's death penalty system.” The Vanguard recently hosted a webinar to discuss this historic suit. Panelists: Avi Frey, Counsel from ACLU of Northern California Lisa Romo, Office of State Public Defender (OSPD) Morgan Zamora, prison advocacy coordinator at the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights Karen Munoz, from LatinoJustice Moderators: Madison Whittemore, Vanguard News Sophie Yoakum, Vanguard News

On this episode of “B The Way Forward,” host Brenda Darden Wilkerson is joined by Ruthe Farmer, activist and policymaker, who has trailblazed a path toward increasing diversity, building inclusion, and prioritizing gender equity in technology. In Ruthe's illustrious career, she has leveraged successful and current infrastructures to promote girls' and womens' participation in these fields. Ruthe continues to be a champion in this space - ushering in, and supporting, a new wave of women in technology. Ruthe's advocacy work led her to found “The Last Mile Education Fund”, a gap-fund organization that invests in individuals already committed to STEM careers, by supporting them when unconventional circumstances challenge them otherwise. Ruthe shares the true battles women face while in higher education today - and spoiler alert, most of the time it isn't in the classroom! The intimate stories of the lives touched by the Last Mile Education Fund help inform educational institutions, employers, and recruiters, about the daily challenges students are faced with before entering the professional workforce. With the average grant request being $956, it reveals how a little in someone's world can be so impactful in another's. Brenda and Ruthe's conversation offers a broader perspective on how we can encourage young technologists to continue on their successful paths, starting with empathy and understanding. “Just last week we got a donation from a grantee and she said, ‘I'm happy to be now a donor instead of a grantee, please pay it forward on my behalf,' and it really is a virtuous circle that is not only going to bring up the diversity of computing, but increase economic mobility for underrepresented people, but it's also incubating givers.

What more fitting way to end this week - which included World Menopause Day - than to release this interview with Fiona Clark, Founder of the Menopause Research and Education Fund.   Fiona is an Australian journalist who previously worked for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and was a correspondent in the Soviet Union at the time it collapsed. She returned to Australia and worked as a reporter on and then supervising producer of its equivalent of Newsnight before leaving the ABC to move to medical publishing in the early 2000s. She then moved with her family back to Russia for what was supposed to be a year, but ended up being around 10 years. She then moved to London where she set up Harley Street Emporium with the aim of delivering evidence-based information about skincare to women, but which quickly evolved to cover menopausal health and for the last 5 years she has carried out thousands of interviews with menopause experts and many amazing women about their experiences. Most recently she has launched the Menopause Research and Education Fund and that's why I asked her to come and tell us more about why such a charity is needed and what their plans are for the future.   MREF is fundraising to obtain charity status and its mission is to: - fund independent research into menopause (including topics such as migraine, HRT post-cancer, mental health, joint pain, impact of longer term HRT usage and more) - make sure all healthcare professionals have the education they need to help women adequately and appropriately and, - that all those who go through menopause have the evidence-based information they need so they can make informed decisions.   With so many of us likely to live over a third of our lives in a post-menopausal state, it's critical for our understanding of long-term health and wellbeing that all aspects of menopause and perimenopause get the independent research that we are crying out for.  To find out more about MREF and donate to their work visit https://mref.uk/ If you enjoyed this epside it would mean so much if you'd subscribe, rate, and review us to share the love and help others find the podcast too!  You can also find us over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and you can listen to past episodes at https://middlingalong.com   Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle, for fortnightly goodness into your Inbox: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share  We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/     You can also find me at https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause  or at www.managingthemenopause.com where we offer 1-1 coaching and workplace training.  Get our free 'Guide to your GP appointment' at https://www.managingthemenopause.com/free-resources

This May, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 264, a law that restricts Chinese nationals from acquiring property in the state of Florida under the guise of protecting national security. But the issue is actually pretty clear — Chinese people are not the Chinese government, and conflating the two is just the latest iteration of anti-Asian land laws and anti-Asian discrimination that date as far back as the 1880s. Rather than protecting national security, the law will shatter the dreams of Chinese families, students, and business owners hoping to build a life in the Sunshine State. So we at the ACLU, along with our partners, are suing Florida over SB 264, arguing in Shen v. Simpson that the law legitimizes and expands housing discrimination against people of Asian descent and therefore violates both the Constitution and the Fair Housing Act. Joining us today to discuss the case are Bethany Li, legal director of the Asian American Legal Defense & Education Fund and one of our co-counsels in the case, and Echo King, an immigration lawyer and co-founder of the Florida Asian Americans Justice Alliance, a group which rallies the support of Floridians against this kind of discrimination.

Before entering academia, Alejandra worked as a litigator at the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund and the LGBTQ Law Project at the New York Legal Assistance Group.In my “stump speech” about free speech and ideological diversity in the legal profession, I urge my listeners to seek out and engage with people they disagree with. Following my own advice, I reached out to Alejandra, with whom I have frequently sparred on Twitter. She was kind enough to join me for a discussion that covered controversial and sensitive subjects, including trans athletes participating in girls and women's sports, the access of children and teens to gender-affirming care, and more.My thanks to Alejandra for her willingness to engage in good-faith debate.
