Between Ourselves: Erin Moers

Erin Moers is a 49-year-old activist from Mount Pleasant. In her community, she works on issues of trans-phobia and HIV/AIDS.

1) You live in a rather rural area of Michigan. Does that make it harder to get involved in advocacy work?

Not so much harder to do the work, but sometimes the drive is a bit difficult after a long day. The largest obstacle to advocacy in a rural area is the area itself. There is a great deal of "trans-phobia" in less-populated places, and the general belief is that the issues I address are problems in big cities only. That simply is not true.
