The first project from the Southern & Appalachian Co-Op Press, created by freelance journalist Abby Lee Hood.
Hellbender’s goal is actionable news about upcoming anti-trans legislation in Tennessee. Reporting solutions to the problem, not just the problem — and covering how and why these bills destroy everyday Tennesseean’s lives.
Over the next 10 or so episodes we’ll cover the 2021 legislative session, bills to watch out for in 2022 that impact the LGBTQ+ community, how to effectively organize against discriminatory anti-queer bills, how the media can do a better job in covering the community and mental health resources for Tennesseans who are struggling.
