J-Sei Home Closes After 30 Years, Leaving Bay Area Japanese Seniors in Need The 1960s and 70s were a pivotal time for community activism – with the civil rights and anti-war movements, the Black Panther Party, and student protests that established ethnic studies programs on college campuses. That activism led to a decades-old critical lifeline for Japanese American elders: culturally sensitive senior care homes. But in recent years, these kinds of homes have been closing down. As KQED's Cecilia Lei reports, the closures highlight how the Japanese American community is at a crossroads.    LA's El Compa Negro Plays Regional Mexican Music, Straight Outta Compton Compton is known for being the heart of West Coast rap – from Dr. Dre to Kendrick Lamar.  But Compton has changed a lot. According to census data, 70% of the city's residents identify as Latino or Hispanic. This shift can be seen and heard in an artist from Compton named Rhyan Lavelle Lowery, aka “El Compa Negro.” He's a Black musician who sings regional Mexican music. Reporter Aisha Wallace-Palomares takes us on a trip to meet him.  Transgender Community Builds Bonds at This SF Self-Defense Class Many transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive people are feeling vulnerable because of anti-trans policies from the Trump administration. There are a lot of efforts to fight for trans rights on the legal front, but there's also momentum to make sure trans and nonbinary people can defend themselves from threats of physical violence. KQED's Bianca Taylor takes us to a free self-defense class in San Francisco's Transgender District, the first legally recognized cultural district of its kind in the world.     Learn more about your ad choices.

Signal (the phone app) has become an obligatory download for every organizer on the Left in the US. But it was funded through one of the American government's propaganda agencies, and the atmosphere it creates is one of a neverending meeting permeated by paranoia.

Transgender kids and their families have become a frequent target of president-elect Donald Trump and other conservative politicians. While the Bay Area and California have some of the strongest protections for trans people, federal policies could pose major challenges here. We'll talk about the future of trans rights, whether access to gender-affirming care will remain possible, and what could happen during a second Trump administration. Guests: Honey Mahogany, Director of the Office of Transgender Initiatives, City of San Francisco - former chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party and cofounder of the Transgender District in the Tenderloin Tom Temprano, managing director of external affairs, Equality California, an LGBTQ+ rights advocacy organization Kate Redburn, academic fellow, lecturer and co-director, The Center for Gender and Sexuality Law, Columbia Law School Nadine Pourier Blumenshine, vice president, PFLAG Fresno, a nonprofit organization of LGBTQ+ people, parents, families, and allies focused on creating an equitable and inclusive world

Back in 2017, three black trans women founded the Compton's Transgender Cultural District in San Francisco - now more commonly known as The Transgender District. Its original name pulls upon the history of the first documented uprising of transgender and queer people in the country, the Compton's Cafeteria Riots of 1966. Of course, the history of trans people in the Bay Area - in particular in San Francisco - runs deep, so much so that in 2021, advocates within the Transgender District got the month of August to be recognized as Transgender History Month in the city and county of San Francisco. Then California took that a step further last year, when the state assembly voted in favor of making Transgender History Month a statewide designation. The first full state recognized Transgender History Month is the August we are in right now. The legacy of trans people is what Andrea Horne is focused on and she's this week's guest on In Depth. Horne is a former actress, model, jazz singer - and she's been a fixture in the trans community of San Francisco for over 40 years, working to support the black and brown transgender women in the Tenderloin. Horne is also a keeper of stories, of the histories of trans women of color that might otherwise be lost. Now, she's turning her research into a book titled, "How Black Trans Women Changed the World."   

For our first live show taping in May, Jemma DeCristo, LaVelle Ridley, and Mama Ganuush spoke brilliantly on Trans Black-Palestinian Solidarity amidst the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

The razor manufacturing company Braun is being slammed for a “shockingly immoral” promo featuring a shirtless woman who identifies as transgender and has visible mastectomy scars. The Ukrainian military has announced that it has suspended controversial transgender spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo for allegedly making unapproved statements on social media; however, there have been no updates from the Ukrainians or the Biden administration on the fate of an American citizen journalist currently imprisoned in Ukraine. On Aug. 24th, 2021, the month of August was designated as “Transgender History Month” in San Francisco. This was thanks to the efforts of trans activist Jupiter Peraza and The Transgender District. As of Sept. 6th, August has been declared “Transgender History Month” in the entire state of California, thus making it the nation's first. Reps. Zach Nunn (R-IA) and Steve Cohen (D-TN) filed a bipartisan resolution to seize frozen Russian assets and use that money instead of U.S. taxpayer dollars to aid Ukraine in its reconstruction efforts from Russia's invasion of their country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SF is in the air and on the airwaves this episode, because we go all-in on the politics of Maddie's neck of the woods. A conversation that covers a ton of ground and provides an insightful look at SF and even CA as a whole's politics, this episode features an interview with the one, the only, the amazing Honey Mahogany. Not only is Honey the Chair of SF Democrats, but Honey is also running for District 6 Supervisor, which is a HUGE role. No, like, the way in which we learned so much about how this role operates is next level. We also got into how Democratic clubs and organizations like the SF Democrats work (and how to get involved with them) and what their role is. And, as this is a classic all the things episode, we get into Honey's POV on the SF housing crisis and how it can be remedied. And to cap it all off with something that truly a slay, we talk about Honey's role in founding SF's Transgender District, the amazing programs available through it, and what the district's founding celebrates.

Oneika Raymond walks Castro Street with filmmaker and drag performer Joshua Grannell (he/him) on their way to opening night of Frameline, the largest and longest running queer film festival in the world.The Castro is a historic San Francisco neighborhood which first became known as a hub for the Gay Civil Rights Movement of the 1970s. Oneika meets up with Joshua, or Peaches Christ, outside Queer A.F., a queer arts space dedicated to keeping LGBTQ+ artists in the Bay Area. It's also the site of  Castro Camera, the former headquarters of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California. Joshua takes Oneika on a tour down memory lane as they stroll Castro Street's Rainbow Honor Walk, pointing out notable figures like disco singer Sylvester along the way. He reflects on how the neighborhood has changed since he moved to the enclave as an aspiring filmmaker in 1996, and points out one institution that continues to be a gathering place for the queer community: the famed Castro Theatre. Oneika and Joshua continue their conversation at Orphan Andy's, a rainbow-themed greasy spoon that has been serving up late night eats since 1977. There, she learns more of the lesser-told history behind the city's queer neighborhoods, like the newly designated Transgender District in the Tenderloin. Joshua also shares how he got his start as a drag queen, and why the Castro was the perfect neighborhood for him to foster that self-expression and launch his drag show, Midnight Mass. Of course, there are countless drag performances to choose from across the city, be it brunch at El Toro, cabaret at the Oasis, or seasonal shows at W San Francisco. They'll wrap up the day by heading to the red carpet at Castro Theatre for Frameline and witness that cinematic magic come to life in the audience

In 2021, as we begin to emerge from the global COVID-19 pandemic, the country continues to grapple with well-publicized incidents of police violence against Black Americans, a wave of anti-API discrimination and violence, and spreading political and other attacks on the transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex communities. In response to these harrowing realities, The Commonwealth Club and The Transgender District of San Francisco bring together a roundtable of thought leaders from across the nation to speak openly about their unique experiences regarding race and gender identity, in hopes that this summit can provide context, connection and solidarity between three communities that are far too often pitted against each other.

In 2021, as we begin to emerge from the global COVID-19 pandemic, the country continues to grapple with well-publicized incidents of police violence against Black Americans, a wave of anti-API discrimination and violence, and spreading political and other attacks on the transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex communities. In response to these harrowing realities, The Commonwealth Club and The Transgender District of San Francisco bring together a roundtable of thought leaders from across the nation to speak openly about their unique experiences regarding race and gender identity, in hopes that this summit can provide context, connection and solidarity between three communities that are far too often pitted against each other.

Born and raised in California, Angel is first generation-Guatemalan. Being young, gay, and a person of color, he had to overcome his fear of being rejected or not being good enough if he chose to embrace all parts of himself, good and bad, and it sure didn't help when he became a born-again Christian in 2016. Since then, he has reclaimed his identity, and has worked hard to accept that God loves him the way he is, and that it takes faith to overcome any obstacles— faith that he found in the recovery community. Along with faith, he discovered his alter ego, Linda Summers, who has helped him share his painful and most beautiful experiences in drag with the San Francisco community as a form of healing.* the interview refers to a performance piece you can watch by clicking this, Linda Summers - Violeta conversation about Drag & Spirituality with hostess a queer chaplain, B0NNi33 Vi0L3T (AKA Duane Quintana) sponsored by GLIDE & Glide Pride TeamPlease make donations to The Transgender DistrictProject OverviewThe GLIDE Pride Team & GLIDE Memorial Church in presenting the legendary B0NNi33 Vi0L3T in the second installment of her series of talk show style interviews and culminating “Sunday Third Celebration.” Featuring different San Francisco Bay Area drag artists “Drag and Spirituality” starting on July 19th , 2020 and culminated on August 16th , 2020.
