Today our special guest is trans activist Landon Richie.  We will be discussing the various attacks on trans kids that are being proposed, and in some cases passed, in state legislations across the country.

Landon, an award winning artist, realized his trans identity in middle school. During that time, Landon created a SAGA (Sexuality And Gender Alliance) club, and brought it to his high school, where he currently serves as co-vice-president. Through SAGA, he co-founded FortGenderBenders, a student advocacy group aiming to strengthen protections for LGBTQ+ students, teachers, and administrators in his school district. Landon has lobbied and testified at the Texas State Capitol, and has attended ACLU Summer Advocacy Program during his junior and senior years in high school. Through his involvement with the GenderCool Project, Landon has been able to share his story with major corporations such as CitiBank, Allstate, and Conagra Brands. Landon has been interviewed on television and radio, both locally and nationally, and has been featured in Rolling Stone magazine.
