Sally G. McMillen Lecture presents: Curtis Strangio "The Potential & Limits of Legal Advocacy in the Fight for Trans Justice"

Transgender people are facing an all-out assault in state legislatures, in the courts and in the public discourse. Opportunistically weaponized by political actors to turn out votes, this small and marginalized community has never faced so many barriers to legal equality and material survival. In this talk, the ACLU's Deputy Director for Trans Justice Chase Strangio will talk about how the fight for trans rights takes on new urgency in the court in a post-Dobbs world, the limits of legal advocacy and the potential for cross-movement mobilizing the the years ahead.
