 In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen presents a collection of inspiring stories that highlight progress and resilience in the face of adversity. We begin with a revealing poll showing that a majority of Donald Trump's voters support vaccines, challenging stereotypes about vaccine hesitancy and demonstrating a surprising bipartisan consensus on public health.
Next, we celebrate Vermont's successful ban on single-use plastic bags, which has led to a remarkable 91% reduction in their use, showcasing how well-crafted legislation can promote sustainable living and environmental stewardship. The community-driven initiative has garnered widespread support and serves as a model for other states.
In an exciting development, St. John's Lutheran Church in Madison, Wisconsin, is taking bold action to address the affordable housing crisis by demolishing its historic church building to make way for a new 10-story development that will provide 110 low-income apartments.
Denver Public Schools stands firm against federal pressure to roll back protections for transgender and non-binary students, pledging to fight for inclusivity and the safety of all students, even in the face of potential funding cuts.
A listener-suggested story reveals the powerful role of Gen Z in today's protest movements, highlighting their innovative approaches to activism and their commitment to social justice amidst challenges.
Finally, we discuss how Chicago's nonprofit clinics are expanding telehealth services to ensure immigrant patients receive the care they need, despite rising fears of ICE activity. These clinics are dedicated to breaking down barriers and maintaining access to healthcare for all.

Join us for this uplifting episode filled with stories of hope, activism, and the ongoing fight for justice!
