Listen "Back to school for trans students. Plus, #PAprobationreform now at the state capitol"
Episode Synopsis
Students in Pennsylvania have been back in class for just over a month now. For transgender students, that means navigating a variety of challenges that are unique to them because they are trans. In this episode, hear from Naiymah Sanchez, ACLU-PA's trans justice coordinator, and Mary Catherine Roper, ACLU-PA's deputy legal director, about the rights of transgender students and how to get organized to positively impact school policy.
And you'll hear voices from a recent lobby day at the state capitol in Harrisburg calling for reform to probation law in Pennsylvania.
