About the film
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, this landmark film is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice.
About the speaker
David Carey is the managing legal director for the ACLU of Ohio, where he develops and conducts litigation, and assists in managing the legal department. David’s litigation work spans a broad array of civil liberties issues, including challenges to prison conditions and parole procedures, defense of free expression, criminal justice reform, criminalization of poverty, and voting rights and gerrymandering.
David previously served as an ACLU of Ohio volunteer attorney for several years. His pro bono work included defending early voting access in NAACP v. Husted, writing amicus briefs in defense of free political expression in Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus and public trial rights in State v. Sowell, and assisting on a host of other matters. Incurably bitten by the civil rights litigation bug, he was thrilled to join the team in Columbus in 2018.
