From Steve Bannon stating that Trump will run again in 2028 (yes, really), to 60,000 more people fired at the Pentagon, to Trump’s horrible deal with Putin on Ukraine—a whole new kind of March madness is here. And if you’re not angry you’re not paying attention.
It’s been another week of shocking new lows and political chaos. But we’re starting to see pushback—-and some signs of a resistance forming. But not from the Democrats. And definitely not from the Democrat leadership. But from veterans, 9/11 First Responders, military kids and trans activists. And as Trump continues his culture war and purge on the federal government, trans people are being uniquely, specifically, and dangerously targeted. The issue made headlines again this week as a federal judge blocked Trump’s radical move to purge all trans troops from the military.
And in this episode, we’ve got the smartest and most effective voice in America on these issues. A legendary activist, veterans advocate and real life superhero: Lindsay Church. Lindsay is here with a brilliant and detailed breakdown of the policies, the players, the consequences, the stakes and how it all impacts real human beings–including themself and their child. This is the single best and smartest conversation you will hear or see on these issues.
This a time of chaos and fear and uncertainty. But leaders continue to rise to the moment. Especially Lindsay Church. Lindsay is an American badass. A fighter. An organizer. A patriot. A parent. And a nationally-recognized expert on military, veterans and LGBTQ issues.
Church (they/them) is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Minority Veterans of America, a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to creating an equitable and just world for the minority veteran community – veterans of color, women, LGBTQ, and (non)religious minorities. Lindsay has nearly a decade of experience rooted in veteran’s advocacy and grassroots organizing. They have facilitated agency-wide cultural competency trainings, provided Congressional testimonies, and speaks on myriad issues related to the equity and inclusion for minority and underrepresented communities. Lindsay is a leader for the people. Their people. Your people. Our people. ALL PEOPLE. They represent the best of what our country is—and what it can be.
