Ukrainian International Women's Day

We dedicate this International Women’s Day to the brave women of Ukraine struggling to stay alive in a world turned upside down by insanity & greed. You are in our prays & thoughts as you show us your heartbreaking courage. This year’s International Women’s Day official theme is “Break The Bias” imagining a gender equal world free of bias, stereotypes & discrimination. Also for Women’s Month if you haven’t already please fill out the National LGBTQ+ Women’s Community Survey. This groundbreaking survey is a long overdue effort to learn & collect data from the experiences of women who partner with other women. Garnering over 5,000 respondents to date this unique effort is led by veteran queer, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, researchers & activists. The survey is designed to discover all we know & what we need to know about the life experience of LGBTQ women. Their goal is to reach 20,000 participants for the study by the end of March 2022. The survey will help understand the unique & amazing ways we form & support our families & how our community is surviving discrimination & harassment at work. The survey also addresses what forms of economic & social safety nets we create for ourselves given that the government, corporations & even non-profit employers largely do a poor job of this for black & brown LGBTQ+ women who love women. Last December I talked to Urvashi about her inspiration for creating the National LGBTQ+ Women’s Community Survey & give us her spin on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN
