Then, New Jersey is rolling back rights for trans prisoners making it even more difficult for them to be incarcerated at institutions that align with their gender identity. We speak with Adam Rhodes, a queer, first-generation Cuban American journalist whose journalism focuses on public policy, the justice system, and our nation’s most vulnerable people. His latest piece for the Appeal is called New Jersey Rolls Back Protections for Trans Prisoners.

We end today’s show discussing Atlanta’s Cop City and the community struggle to stop it. On Wednesday, January 18 26-year-old activist Tortuga was shot and killed by Atlanta police while protesting the construction of the planned $90 million Atlanta Public Safety Training Center (or ‘Cop City’), an 85-acre police training facility in the South River Forest. But what is Cop City? Why is it being built? What has the organizing looked like even prior to the violent and deadly repression organizers and activists experienced at the hands of law enforcement? We are joined by Tunde Osazua, a member of the Atlanta chapter of the Black Alliance for Peace (or BAP), who is also a member of BAP’s national coordinating committee. He’s also a part of a broader coalition of individuals and orgs fighting back against Atlanta’s Cop City plan.
