What's The Strategy? Corporate Activism And Anti-Trans Bills

Published 4 years, 11 months ago
Description
Corporations have spoken out against the new restrictive voting law in Georgia, but to what end? Sam talks to Slate writer Dahlia Lithwick about whether that tactic actually effects change—and whether it's just a performance. Plus, Sam talks to author and historian Jules Gill-Peterson about the historic flood of anti-trans bills in state legislatures and how these bills echo anti-gay rhetoric of the past. Then, friends of the show Saeed Jones and Zach Stafford join Sam to play Who Said That.

— Read Dahlia Lithwick's Slate article, "The Problem with Boycotting Georgia"
