About this listen

In this powerful season finale of Pathway to Progress, we reflect on the transformative journey of our podcast series alongside two of FreeState Justice’s leading voices—Executive Director Phillip Westry and Advocacy, Policy, & Partnerships Director Ronnie Taylor.

Together, they revisit the impactful conversations that have defined this season, highlighting the collective wisdom of advocates, experts, and changemakers dedicated to advancing equity for people living with HIV. At the heart of this episode is a deep dive into the Carlton R. Smith Jr. Act—a groundbreaking piece of Maryland legislation that aims to repeal outdated and harmful HIV criminalization laws.

Join us as we celebrate the progress made, honor the voices that brought us here, and look ahead to the vital work still to come in the fight for decriminalization and justice.

Phillip Westry, Executive Director of FreeState Justice, is the host of Pathway to Progress. Learn about FreeState’s work to provide LGBTQ+ Marylanders with free legal services at freestate-justice.org.
