MLK Day festivities focused on justice for Section 14 survivors

Multiple organizations and individuals from throughout Southern California (and perhaps further) gathered in Palm Springs, California, January 15, 2024 (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s actual birthday) for MLK Day honoring the the Life, Work and Legacy of the civil rights icon.
The focus of the day was centered on achieving just for survivors and ancestors of Section 14.
PromoHomo.TV® Producer/Host Nicholas Snow captured the bulk of the days activities in two Facebook live broadcast, including the rally earlier in the day at Frances Stevens Park, and the interfaith service at the United Methodist Church (participants particpated in a one-mile walk between the two, symbolic of marches in Selma, Alabama.” Both live broadcasts are included in this comprehensive episode of The Snowstorm, which may very well be the single most historic capturing of the inspirational day.
All sponsors and speakers are identified and acknowledged in the broadcast. Everyone was called to sign the petition at www.knowbeforeyougopalmsprings.comwhich states:
As efforts to unearth the truth and seek reparative justice have gained traction in America, exhaustive research has placed Palm Springs squarely in the pantheon of the country’s history of racially terrorizing African Americans by taking property and destroying political power.
Join us in demanding that Palm Springs recognize its true history and fulfill its commitment to make the Survivors and Descendants of Section 14 whole again. Sign the petition today. The website continues:
“In July 1966, the California State Attorney General’s Office initiated a criminal investigation into the actions of Palm Springs officials in the use of force and terror to drive Black and brown residents of Section 14 out of their homes and community. The subsequent 1968 report concluded that Palm Springs officials had burned and bulldozed the homes and property of thousands of Black and brown people in the 1950s and 1960s in a “city-engineered holocaust.”
Nearly 60 years passed before the City of Palm Springs conducted its own investigation. The City’s Human Rights Commission issued a jaw-dropping 400-page report of its findings and recommendations on April 28, 2021. Written by Ron deHarte (then chair of the Human Rights Commission and now an elected member of the city council), the report is the first time the City’s actions were uncovered in their entirety.”

Ban on Trans Youth Healthcare in South Carolina Advances

Earlier this week (January 9th), SC United for Justice & Equality alerted a media with news of the passage through subcommittee of H.4624, the ban on medically necessary healthcare for transgender youth. The organization reports, “There was some inspiring and powerful testimony against the bill. Fifty people testived and all but one supported the bill.” A rally at the SC Statehouse was planned for the next day. Representatives from the organization have been invited to appear on a future edition of The Snowstorm.
KEY PARTS OF THE MEDIA ADVISORY:
The South Carolina House Medical and Health Affairs Subcommittee voted to advance H.4624 favorably to the full Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee. The bill would ban medically necessary healthcare for transgender youth under the age of 18 in South Carolina, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgery. Further, it prevents public funds from being used to cover the cost of transition-related healthcare for youth and adults. A surge of anti-transgender legislation like this has passed all over the country in the past two years; until 2021, no state had laws that banned transgender youth from accessing this healthcare.
The vote on H.4624 came after 50 people testified on the bill – 49 people from all across South Carolina spoke against the bill, and only 1 person, representing the far-right group Alliance Defending Freedom (which has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center), testified in favor.
The subcommittee did vote in favor of two amendments that mitigate a small fraction of the damage of the bill. One amendment removes language prohibiting providers from “aiding and abetting” youth in accessing gender-affirming care and clarifies that the bill should not be construed to blockade any affirming mental health care (the original bill as written was so broad that it could be read as a way to block even talk therapy). Another amendment removes a clause requiring teachers and school staff to notify parents if they suspect a student of being transgender.
Jace Woodrum, a leader in the SC United for Justice & Equality coalition who also serves as Executive Director of the ACLU of South Carolina, was one of the people who testified today. He said in response to the vote:
“I am so grateful for every transgender person and ally to transgender people who came out today to speak against this shameful and dangerous legislation. We heard from parents concerned about the health and safety of their children, a sister who saw the joy and independence that gender-affirming care brought to her brother, medical providers who know the science, and community members who spoke powerfully about their experiences as transgender South Carolinians. It is heart-breaking that even after such powerful testimony, lawmakers still voted to advance such a divisive bill that cruelly targets children.”
“Let’s be clear: Extreme lawmakers are moving so quickly with this discriminatory bill because they want us to be complacent, stay quiet, and think this fight is hopeless. But together, we will be there every step of the way to speak out and force them to look us in the eye while they harm our community. We will never stop sending a message of love, support, and solidarity to transgender young people in South Carolina.”
Advocates from the SC United for Justice & Equality coalition are available to speak with media about the legislation and its damaging impact on transgender youth.
SC United for Justice and Equality envisions a South Carolina where everyone can thrive, with a focus on the lived and legal equality of LGBTQ people. The coalition advocates for the passage of legislation to protect LGBTQ community members and opposes anti-LGBTQ legislation. The coalition also works on intersecting issues of social justice, including racial justice, reproductive justice, voting rights, and health care access. www.southcarolinaunited.org

Fellow Travelers transports our hearts back to San Francisco

Hearts across the world are reunited with San Francisco these days because of the intense, powerful Showtime series Fellow Travelers. For Nicholas Snow, that storyline of that series ends in the very years his young adult activism was forged early in the AIDS epidemic.
Today’s guest Matthew Bamberg also has a very special relationship the city by the bay as chronicled in his story for The Gay & Lesbian Review (www.GLReview.org … a bimonthly magazine of history, culture and politics) entitled Pride and Acceptance in San Francisco. He joins us today to speak about these experiences and so much more.
ABOUT MATTHEW BAMBERG (From Medium.com)
Bamberg is a generalist, hitting a variety of themes and topics in photography, writing, education, and atmospheric science. He considers knowledge in terms of art by including images as part of each discipline.Matthew grew up in Miami after his parents immigrated from New York and New Jersey.
As a teenager, he worked in Coconut Grove, Florida, in sales, not as a picture-perfect young person, but as an incipient flower child.
The Vietnam War raged at a time when the first boats and planes arrived in South Florida from Cuba when Fidel Castro overthrew the government.
Hippies clogged Miami area parks, creating crowds at “Love Ins.”
Their message and chant: “All we are saying is give peace a chance.”
Matthew’s offbeat topics from his youth experiences are used in much of his fiction writing on www.Medium.com.
