Today’s episode drops on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the same day Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. What a juxtaposition. We reflect on what this moment means for our communities and why the work we do matters now more than ever. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾

Here’s what we cover today:

 

• 🏛️ Inauguration Day 2025: What to expect & why you might want to tune out

• ⚖️ ERA Declared the 28th Amendment: What it means & what’s next

• 🏀 Unrivaled Women’s Basketball League: A new era for the game

• 💼 The Trevor Project Restructures: Layoffs & the future of LGBTQ+ crisis support

• 🎤 Creating Change 2025: Anna heads to Vegas & interviews Tre’vell Anderson!

 

Plus, Anna’s Got a Word inspired by Dr. King himself. Tune in and remember—We All We Got.
