Saturday, June 20th at Ark and Dove Presbyterian Church, Odenton, MD
Doors open at 7:00 pm for coffee, tea, and light refreshments.
Movie begins promptly at 7:30 pm.
Fearless civil rights lawyer Chase Strangio battles at the Supreme Court for transgender adolescents’ access to gender-affirming healthcare, confronting not only the legal system but also a media landscape that distorts public perception and threatens the struggle for trans rights. With the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice.
