“Conversion Therapy,” “Free Speech,” & Rising Aggression

Listen on YouTube

Episode 289

This week Sam speaks with Wayne Besen, longtime activist with ⁠Truth Wins Out⁠, the pioneering LGBTQ rights organization that has led the fight against so-called “conversion therapy.” They talk about the recent (terrible) Supreme Court ruling on this cruel and anti-scientific quackery and the movement that is needed to stop fascism in the US now.

As MAGA attempts to consolidate fascism across society, Refuse Fascism is gearing up for outpourings in the streets around the country for May 1 (May Day): bringing the message that Trump Must Go Now into the movement so that people feel their power where it really lies (hint: it’s not the midterms).⁠ Get involved by marching with us on May 1.⁠

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
