In March, state Republican lawmakers in North Carolina struck a deal to overturn a law denying transgender people the use of the bathroom, changing room or locker room that matches their gender identity.

The deal allows the state to continue regulating bathrooms while barring local governments from enacting their own anti-discrimination laws until late 2020. We speak to Sarah Gillooly about the ACLU's ongoing fight.
