Street Roots' Pride Edition with Correspondent Zoe Toperosky

Welcome to Street Roots Radio. This is an XRAY.FM collaboration with Portland Local Publication Street Roots. Street Roots publishes a weekly social justice newspaper sold by people experiencing homelessness and poverty to earn an income. 

This week Street Roots Correspondent Zoe Toperosky shares about both of her articles in this weeks Pride Edition of Street Roots. 

First, Stories of Resistance: Black Drag in Oregon. Five Black drag performers share their stories of success and struggle, from the 1970s to today. 

Second, Oregon Lawmakers Kill discriminatory bills. Oregon is a leading state in protecting queer and trans people, but advocates continue work to advance rights for all.
