What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

On February 1st, 2024,, Ezra Stand, and Lincoln DePietro had our interview with Ceyenne Doroshow, leader and founder of G.L.I.T.S. (Gays and Lesbians In a Transgender Society). G.L.I.T.S. works for transgender youth who are heavily oppressed and discriminated against. Ceyenne talked about how when she was a kid, she had to run away from home. She did this because she was worried her parents were going to hurt or kill her for being trans. growing up she had no resources and started G.L.I.T.S. to change that for transgender youth in the modern day. Ceyenne talked about going to the covenant house and they sent her back out the front door because she was trans. G.L.I.T.S. has worked with organizations like StandDev and project Abigail. G.L.I.T.S. worked with project Abigail to make a building run by G.L.I.T.S. with emergency housing, affordable housing, basic medical, and food.
