Nov 9We have a lot to unpack after last Tuesday's elections.We're celebrating historic wins, like the first openly trans state lawmakers in Alabama and Georgia, while also contending with the passage of anti-trans ballot measures in four states. Let’s discuss which strategies, messages, and narratives worked and which ones didn’t this election news cycle as reporters and storytellers covered key issues for trans people. Join Press On and Transgender Law Center @translawcenter for our virtual training on November 19th, Let’s Keep Building: Reflections on trans election coverage and the path ahead. Register today at bit.ly/letskeepbuilding (link in bio). Participants will: - Examine how states with anti-trans ballot measures deployed strategic storytelling strategies to reach and move voters. - Assess how the media framed and shaped conversations about trans people and bodily autonomy. - Observe and discuss how public perceptions of gender and progressive policies have changed from 2024 to 2026. - Learn how to model the messages and narratives that are needed to continue building momentum and power among all marginalized communities. To ensure the future of our Level Up popular education program, we ask that each registrant make a sliding-scale contribution ($1-$125), but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. English live captioning & language interpretation provided by request. Please name your accessibility needs on the registration form.
