The changed composition of the U.S. Supreme Court and its recent decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization have sparked questions about whether the Court may curtail LGBTQ equality in future cases. Laws and pending legislation in many states are designed to reverse existing gains and prevent new ones. In this environment, some litigators from past marriage equality and other cases are urging an approach that focuses less on litigation as a remedy to effectuate actual equality. Join us as nationally recognized subject matter experts walk us through the current state of the law and what may be next.
Amanda Goad is the Audrey Irmas Director of the LGBTQ, Gender & Reproductive Justice Project at the ACLU of Southern California. She has spent her career fighting for the rights and civil liberties of LGBTQ people through litigation and policy advocacy.
