Impact Points
  • Iowa's governor signed a bill removing gender identity protections from the state's civil rights code, marking a significant regression in transgender rights and protections in the U.S.
  • The Trump administration's plans to fire nearly all staff at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) threaten to dismantle an agency that has been crucial for protecting marginalized consumers.
  • The mass layoffs at federal agencies, including NOAA and the Social Security Administration, could disproportionately affect low-income and marginalized communities who rely on these services.
  • The ongoing tensions and actions taken by the Trump administration, including the push for English to be the official language, may further marginalize non-English speaking communities and immigrants.
