Lawsuit cites cruel and unusual punishment for not providing gender-affirming care; Transit advocates differ on newly announced plans for Atlanta’s Beltline
Nearly 300 Georgia inmates are suing Georgia corrections officials and the state's healthcare contractor for not providing gender-affirming care. Rose talks with Emily Early, the associate director of the Southern Regional Office of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Chinyere Ezie, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, which brought the lawsuit with co-counsel Bondurant Mixson & Elmore LLP. The guests discussed the pending case and what’s next. They also shared what they are hearing from clients who are denied gender-affirming care and why they believe SB 185, which prohibits state funds and resources from being used for certain treatments, is unconstitutional.
Plus, earlier this week on “Closer Look,” Clyde Higgs, the president and CEO of the Atlanta Beltline Inc, assured listeners that multiple modes of transit are coming to the Beltline and talked more about a new estimated $3.5 billion plan that would expand public transit on the Beltline. The 22-mile project— which includes green space, parks and trails— is on track to be completed by 2030. On Friday, Rose talks with Matthew Rao, chair of Beltline Rail Now, and Dr. Hans Klein, president of Better Atlanta Transit, who hold opposing views about the types of transit that should be included.
