While Kat was organizing at the University of Wisconsin for gun safety and student rights, I was at the New School in Manhattan organizing for the Bernie Sanders campaign and serving as a student senator, during which time I advocated for accessibility and students rights for trans and nonbinary students. Shortly after I returned to Providence from New York, Donald Trump won the presidential election, and I felt shattered and disempowered. For the first time in my life, I was terrified to be a trans womxn. For days after the election, I couldn’t bring myself to leave my apartment; I called out of work, got my shifts covered, pulled the comforter over my head, and cried for about three days. For months, I walked around in a haze, and I let the anger simmer inside of me. specialized roubaix sl4 2018 It wasnât until an organizer with MOVE approached her at the University of Texas, San Antonio, and registered her to vote, that she applied her community know-how to activism. âIt was basically another young person engaging me and teaching me how the political process works.

"It was such a wonderful opportunity to tell her story so fully in season one, and I'm really glad to have been asked back and to have been a part of a second season," she said. "I don't know if I can comment on the third season. I don't know if there's going to be a third season. This could have been Hannah's last chapter, but I guess we'll have to wait and officially see." specialized roubaix sl4 2018
