Families with transgender children step up to the mic on an #EverydayPeople edition of the show with Community Co-Host Sue Robbins. They share what it's like to watch Utah lawmakers craft bills that affect their daily lives. Plus, Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy and UMFA reflections on Black Refractions.
Tonight's lineup:
Emma Russell of the Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy,
- March 31: Armies of Enablers: Survivors and the Crime of Complicity, 6:00 p.m. online. Event by Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy: "Based on his book, Armies of Enablers: Survivor Stories of Complicity and Betrayal in Sexual Assaults, Amos Guiora shares the stories of sexual assault survivors from USA Gymnastics, Michigan State University, Penn State University, Ohio State University and the Catholic Church, focusing on how the institutions and individuals allowed the abuse to happen. Joined by OSU survivor Stephen Snyder Hill, they explain how expectations of protection and support from the enabler-bystander were rarely, if ever, met. Join UCCD as Professor Guiora proposes legal, cultural, and social measures aimed at the enabler from the survivor’s perspective."
