Winter In America - A Season of Hope

For many of progressives, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community and for our allies, it can feel like an arctic chill has settled deep into our bones. Rights we fought for are being challenged, our very existence is up for debate in legislative halls, and the rising tide of hate feels overwhelming. But winter isn’t just a time of terminal cold and darkness. It’s also a season for rest, reflection, and preparation for renewal.

On Pride and Perspectives, we’ve been diving into courage and conviction. In our latest episodes, we explore BBishop Mariann Edgar Budde inspiring book Be Brave, a powerful guide to living authentically, and the fiery sermon from Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, calling for compassion and justice in the face of political power.

Join me, Dina Walters, as we uncover these stories of bravery, faith, and action—and how they inspire the LGBTQIA+ community to stand tall.

The People's March held on January 18, 2025, at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing was a significant event, drawing hundreds of participants who rallied to advocate for various social justice issues ahead of President Donald Trump's second inauguration.  Is this is the last stand for free speech pre-Trump? Why have people getting active? Find out more.

Winter In America - A Season of Hope 

For many of progressives, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community and for our allies, it can feel like an arctic chill has settled deep into our bones. Rights we fought for are being challenged, our very existence is up for debate in legislative halls, and the rising tide of hate feels overwhelming. But winter isn’t just a time of terminal cold and darkness. It’s also a season for rest, reflection, and preparation for renewal.

What we need to know to survive the next four years: strategies for LGBTQIA+ resilience, collective action, and navigating challenges ahead. Watch or listen to  Pride and Perspectives for hope, history, and empowerment.
