In this episode of Trans Joy Boise, Bonnie Violet and Pacey dive into the 50 State Rally, a nationwide movement against Project 2025 and the rise of authoritarian policies threatening marginalized communities. Fresh from the rally, they share firsthand experiences, reflections on the diverse voices in attendance, and the urgent need for collective action. They discuss the escalating risks for trans folks, immigrants, and other vulnerable populations, the dangers of ICE profiling, and how we can prepare and protect ourselves. Plus, they highlight key takeaways from Poder’s press conference and local activism efforts. Tune in to learn, resist, and build solidarity—because the fight isn’t over. 💙✨ #TransJoyBoise #Project2025 #QueerResistance #TransRightsAreHumanRights
