Americans United Public Policy Counsel Rachael Stryer joins the hosts of “We Dissent” to discuss how legislators nationwide have been baking religion into law.

On Episode 53, Stryer accompanies FFRF Deputy Legal Director Liz Cavell, Americans United for Separation of Church and State Legal Director Rebecca Markert and National Women’s Law Center Director of Nominations & Democracy Alison Gill to review what came out of the state legislative sessions this year. They survey the measures lawmakers have recently passed to force religion into public schools, to discriminate against LGBTQ people and to divert public money to private religious schools.

“We Dissent,” which first aired in May 2022, is a legal affairs show offering legal wisdom from the secular viewpoint of women lawyers. The show is a collaboration of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Americans United and the National Women’s Law Center.
