This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, were revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human.
On this Pride Month edition of Meet the BIPOC Press, were celebrating Marsha P. Johnson with two activists carrying her story forward. We also unpack the medias coverage of transphobia and Tennessee’s ruling that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. In the face of backlash and repression, how are artists and activists reframing media narratives for queer and trans liberation?
The Laura Flanders Show explores actionable models for creating a better world by reporting on the people and movements driving systemic change. We spotlight the solutions of tomorrow, today. The 28minute radio program (released 5pm Wednesdays) also airs as a TV Show on PBS stations reaching 80% of U.S. households. Laura Flanders is an Izzy-Award winning independent journalist, a New York Times bestselling author and the recipient of the Pat Mitchell Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Media Center. Says Katrina Vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of the Nation, who has known her for 25 years, “Flanders’ fearless and humane journalism never fails to challenge our downsized politics of excluded alternatives. But it does more — Flanders wants her reporting to shift power, seed bold ideas and offer people a way forward that is about transformative not transactional change”.
