‘Everyone Watches Women’s Sports’

Those are the words on a shirt that you might have seen celebrities wearing when courtside at a WNBA game or while cheering during a goal made at a NWSL match. And it does seem to be true, that everyone has their eyes on women’s sports. The hope, of course, is that this will help to grow the leagues, the interest, the investment, so that the future of women’s sports will never be in doubt.

And there are people right here in the Bay Area that are taking that declaration to heart - The Bay Area Women’s Sports Initiative has been doing the good work of supporting young women in the sports world for years, by engaging with the community, with the coaches and the teachers, and by encouraging girls to take up space on the field or the court. BAWSI is supported in part by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, the nation's largest community foundation. SVCF donated $3.1 billion dollars to local nonprofits in 2023, and has supported BAWSI for over 15 years.

To talk more on what is affectionately called BAWSI, I’m joined by Dana Weintraub, Co-CEO of the Bay Area Women’s Sports Initiative, and Brisa Rojas, a BAWSI alum and board member.

Taking a Closer Look at a Bay Area Organization That Brings Sports to All Girls

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has released the 2023 Hate Crimes in California report. The report highlights a whole range of data, looking at hate crimes and hate-related events as reported to law enforcement - and at what communities are being most affected. 

And the findings aren’t too good for those in the LGBTQ+ community. While overall hate crimes saw a slight decline from 2022 to 2023 hate incidents, such as slurs being used, handing out hate material in public places continue to rise, up 86% from 2022.

So, what does this mean for the LGBTQ+ community in California? Are things getting worse and why?

To take a closer look at all this, we're joined by Dr. Ilan Meyer, Distinguished Senior Scholar of Public Policy at the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law. The institute conducts independent research on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy, ensuring that facts—not stereotypes—inform laws, policies, and judicial decisions that affect the LGBTQ+ community.
