On this episode of Pride and Perspectives, we hit the streets of Ferndale, Michigan, where the “Hands Off!” demonstrations brought together a powerful crowd of activists on Saturday, April 5, 2025.

Protesters from all walks of life gathered to speak out against legislative rollbacks targeting LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive freedoms, and bodily autonomy. Several demonstrators joined us to share raw, passionate reflections on why they showed up, how grassroots action fuels their hope, and what keeps them fighting in the face of mounting political and cultural pushback. With chants, signs, and solidarity echoing through the streets, this episode captures a vital moment in the ongoing struggle for justice and liberation.
