As Pride Foundation’s CEO Katie Carter reflects, the results of this week’s elections push us to sit with the dichotomy of our current landscape. “Here in Washington, Jaelynn Scott’s win makes her the first trans state lawmaker in Washington and the first out Black trans state lawmaker in the nation! …While there is truly so much to celebrate from the monumental and historical wins this week, we also know that our work is far from over.
