We just published a year's worth of polling on transgender rights and acceptance in America. Voters across both parties express a consistent preference for equal treatment of trans people in public life and the workplace. We also find broad support for protecting trans people from discrimination and for ensuring that adults have access to the health care they need. That said, Americans hold conservative attitudes where certain policies related to gender identity and trans rights are concerned. The findings reveal the need for a reset in trans advocacy, public education, and policy development. searchlightinstitute.org/research/the-p…

If you are a member of Seattle DSA, please come out to the Convention this Saturday to vote on a resolution to support our independent revolutionary socialist campaign for Congress against genocidal Democrat Adam Smith. Below is the resolution that will be discussed at the Convention. I encourage all Seattle DSA members to come out and vote in favor of it! docs.google.com/document/d/1Yt… Our campaign has already raised more than twice as much money as any previous left challenger to Adam Smith, with over four months until the primary election. We have a real shot to throw Adam Smith out and send the FIRST-EVER revolutionary socialist to the U.S. Congress. I genuinely think that it is in the interests of the working class for DSA members and all socialists to be a part of this effort. Trying to build working-class power within the genocidal capitalist Democratic Party is a dead end. We have seen too many failures and betrayals from DSA elected officials like AOC and Mamdani taking this approach. We have an opportunity to chart a different course, one based on the proven fighting track record of my socialist Seattle City Council office. We won unparalleled victories, like the nation's highest minimum wage and the Amazon Tax, by using my office to build fighting independent movements of working people to defeat the rich and the Democratic Party that serves them. I will do the same if I am elected to Congress. I will use my platform to build nationwide movements to end all military aid to Israel and shut down ICE, and fight for national rent control and free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich. This would be a gamechanger for organizing working-class power in the belly of the capitalist beast. Join our campaign at kshamasawant.org.
