Fighting for our future! The Gender Liberation Movement is hosting its Gender Liberation March on September 14th in Washington, DC, championing rights and access to abortion and gender-affirming care. With much at stake in the upcoming U.S. elections, Raquel Willis, in an exclusive with The Advocate, Raquel Willis, a core organizer of the march, explained what's at stake in this year's upcoming elections, how you can attend, and why it matters.
