Hi all,
Apologies for the delay on this one!
👀 Over the weekend, Donald Trump again tried to bully Maine's Democratic Gov. Janet Mills. At a National Governors Association meeting at the White House last month, Trump called out Mills for the state's trans-inclusive sports policy in school sports. Here's everything you need to know about what has been going down.
☀️ After years of withering policy losses hurting LGBTQ+ Floridians, have political winds shifted in the Sunshine State? Some of the states' advocates and lawmakers think so.
✨ Some good DEI news: Disney shareholders have voted overwhelmingly to continue the company’s participation in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index, which measures businesses’ support for LGBTQ+ causes and on which Disney has consistently received perfect scores.
Onward and upward,
Alex Cooper
