"When right-wing protesters began disrupting school boards and holding anti-LGBTQ+ protests throughout Southern California, documentary filmmaker @directedbyrocky.bsky.social thought some of those involved looked familiar." help this essential film be seen: www.gofundme.com/f/help-finis...

Romano said this story isn't over — right wing activists continue to challenge school policies that support LGBTQ+ students. Some have been elected to school boards, others are contending for statewide offices — such as Chino Valley Unified School District board President Sonja Shaw.

Documentaries can take time to get in front of audiences and, because he said the issue is urgent, Romano's team isn't taking the traditional route to do that.

They've launched a GoFundMe to raise money to pay the final costs of the film. Romano said they are also hosting digital screenings for donors.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

“If I hadn't had it, I'd be dead right now.” Journalists across the U.S. told us why they use personal protective equipment while covering protests, and why attempts to ban it are so dangerous.

PPE bans not only risk reporters. They risk the public’s right to know

Journalists who cover protests across the U.S. told us how personal protective equipment keeps them safe and helps them report the news
