March For Our Lives SLC Update, Off the Grid Two Spirit, Equality Utah Stays the Course

Guests:

Student organizer Natalie Reese of Orem High School and March For Our Lives SLC
LGBTQ Off the Grid: Two Spirit, a production of Utah Public Radio, in partnership with award-winning reporter Andrea Smardon, host of the Changing Our Stories podcast.

The 4-part series explores the often unseen and unaddressed aspects of rural life for LGBTQ individuals and their families. Made possible by the LGBTQ Community Endowment Fund, the USU Center for Women and Gender, and the USU Access & Diversity Center.

Troy Williams, executive director of Equality Utah, a non-profit that worked hard to make sure state lawmakers didn’t roll back advances in LGBTQ rights during the 45 days of the Utah Legislature earlier this year. Troy talks wins (a Youth Suicide Task Force) and losses (hate crimes legislation stalled again), as well as the long-game of politics and advocacy.
If you don't have your Equality Utah calendar, Troy says a few are still available. CLICK HERE for info.
