 months racial justice activists had been warning that the right-wing 
 campaign to attack Critical Race Theory and silence meaningful discussions 
 of racial justice would not stop there. \n\nInstead, it was clear that this 
 was part of a long-term strategy to create fertile ground for a 
 retrenchment strategy that planned to attack a plethora of social justice 
 pillars from LGBTQIA+ rights, abortion access and voting rights. 
 \n\nHowever, the single-issue and siloed thinking that often pervades 
 social justice thinking would choose to attempt to carve out various issues 
 as opposed to identifying the interlocking nature of these assaults for 
 those who live at the intersection of these communities\n\nModerator Kevin 
 Minofu, AAPF senior research and writing fellow will be joined\nby the 
 following panelists:\n\n--Bryanna Jenkins, a civil rights attorney at the 
 Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund\n\n--Ezra Young, nationally 
 recognized scholar and civil rights attorney focusing on trans 
 rights\n\n--Alicia Garza, founder of the Black Futures Lab, co-creator of 
 #BlackLivesMatter and the Black Lives Matter Global Network, and the 
 co-founder of Supermajority\n\n--Russell Robinson, Professor at UC Berkeley 
 Law and acclaimed scholar on the interdisciplinary study of race and sexual 
 orientation.\n\n\nPANELIST BIOS:\n\nBryanna Jenkins is a civil rights 
 attorney at the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund. A graduate of 
 the DePaul College of Law, she previously served as a Civil Rights and 
 Employment Fellow at Cohen, Milstein, Sellers & Toll PLLC until 2022, where 
 she specialized in plaintiff-side class action civil rights and employment 
 litigation. She is the co-founder and leader of the Baltimore Transgender 
 Alliance, and an organizer of the inagural Baltimore Trans March of 
 Resilience in 2015. She has numerous published legal notes and articles to 
 her name, including Birth Certificate with a Benefit: Using LGBTQ 
 Jurisprudence to Make the Argument for a Transgender Person’s 
 Constitutional Right to Amended Identity Documents, which was published 
 prior to her studies at DePaul.\n\nEzra Young is a nationally recognized 
 scholar and civil rights attorney based in New York. He is a visiting 
 assistant professor of law at Cornell Law School and currently maintains a 
 boutique private practice. Ezra’s scholarly work has two strands. The 
 first explores the rights of trans persons and is situated in the nascent 
 field of critical trans legal theory. The second strand looks at innovative 
 equitable remedies and is at the intersection of federal courts, civil 
 procedure, remedies, and constitutional law. Ezra’s academic writing has 
 appeared in or is forthcoming in books and articles published by Routledge, 
 Oxford University Press, the New Press, American Psychologist, California 
 Law Review Online, Cleveland State Law Review, and Plastic and 
 Reconstructive Surgery.\n\nAlicia Garza believes that Black communities 
 deserve what all communities deserve — to be powerful in every aspect of 
 their lives. An innovator, strategist, organizer, and cheeseburger 
 enthusiast, Alicia founded the Black Futures Lab to make Black communities 
 powerful in politics. She is the co-creator of #BlackLivesMatter and the 
 Black Lives Matter Global Network, the Strategy & Partnerships Director for 
 the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and the co-founder of 
 Supermajority, She shares her thoughts on politics and pop culture on her 
 podcast, Lady Don’t Take No. Alicia warns you: hashtags don’t start 
 movements — people do.\n\nRussell Robinson is a Professor at UC Berkeley 
 Law. Robinson graduated with honors from Harvard Law School. He writes 
 about antidiscrimination law, race, gender and sexuality, law and 
 psychology, constitutional law, and media and entertainment law. A primary 
 focus of his work has been the interdisciplinary study of race and sexual 
 orientation and the intersection between these two categories in various 
 social and legal contexts. Some of his recent publications include: 
 “Mayor Pete, Obergefell Gays, and White Male Privilege”, “Justice 
 Kennedy's White Nationalism”, and “LGBT Equality and Sexual 
 Racism”.\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/05/29/18850057.php
