Club\, respectively. Her work has been picked up by local outlets in seven states as well as by long-running publications like GAY TIMES and The Washington Blade. Read Hope’s work here.  \n\n\n\nJohn Washington is a staff writer at Lookout\, where he covers the border and immigration as well as the statehouse. He is also an award-winning translator and author. His latest book\, How to Close a Camp: Dispatches from the Fight Against Immigrant Detention\, will be published by Haymarket Books in July 2026.
