Send us a textIn the face of unprecedented legislative attacks, how does Texas's LGBTQ community forge ahead? This episode of Queer Voices delivers a masterclass in resilience, featuring Brad Pritchett, the Interim Executive Director of Equality Texas, who reveals the brutal realities of the recent legislative session where over 200 anti-LBGTQIA+ bills were filed—the highest number in state history. Deborah Moncrief Bell is the interviewer. "We managed to stop more than 95% of those bills from actually passing into law," Pritchett explains, highlighting the power of community organizing even in hostile political environments. He takes us behind the curtain of Texas politics, exposing how some lawmakers waste precious legislative time on bills based on fabricated scenarios (like the ridiculous "furries bill") rather than addressing genuine concerns affecting all Texans. We then journey from legislation to theater as Houston-native actor Austin Colburn shares his experience returning home from New York to star in "The Last Five Years" at Queensbury Theatre, which runs from July 23rd through the 27th. Austin reflects with Brett Cullum on his evolution from a dancer who "couldn't sing a single pitch" to a professional actor tackling one of musical theater's most challenging scores. His journey from local stages to New York callbacks offers a heartening counterpoint to the political struggles—a reminder that queer joy and artistic expression persist.The episode concludes with Melelani Petersen's powerful reflection on "Town Meeting 1978 to 2028," an art exhibition commemorating a pivotal 1978 gathering of 4,000 LGBTQ Houstonians that birthed vital community institutions.

We got passionate and informed in this episode.I had the honor of hosting @TracyDeTomasi, CEO of Callisto, a survivor-founded nonprofit that has been able to create an encrypted platform allowing sexual assault survivors to find others harmed by the same perpetrator, without requiring them to report or come forward publicly. With a match in the Callisto Vault system, survivors receive free and confidential legal options counseling. This is a win-win-win and yet – with all of the money and resources in the world - Callisto is at risk of closing their doors. How can this be?We dive into a very REAL conversation about what's at stake. Activist, educator and Jeffrey Epstein survivor, Jess Michaels, underscores the fact that surviving sexual assault is difficult on many levels - but it is made a bit easier when you aren't alone in it; Callisto is a force for healing in that sense.The three of us converse boldly about the REAL good being done and the voices and financial backing needed to continue that important work. Join me, Jess, Tracy and the team as we imagine a world in which survivors of sexual violence are supported and empowered to find healing and justice on their own terms. We hope you will join in this important conversation…Resources mentioned in this episode:TED Talk: The reporting system that sexual assault survivors want | Jessica Laddhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orumugzJpt0Previous season episodes with guest, Jess Michaels:Surviving Epstein; Normalizing Our Response to Sexual Assault - part 1https://www.listenforreal.com/surviving-epstein-normalizing-our-response-to-sexual-assault-part-1/Surviving Epstein; Normalizing Our Response to Sexual Assault - part 2https://www.listenforreal.com/surviving-epstein-normalizing-our-response-to-sexual-assault-part-2/Our Guests:Tracy DeTomasiTracy has held leadership positions over the past 20 years, across the nonprofit sector, where she developed and implemented trauma-informed programming and curricula.

Shockingly, her healing journey began December 14, 2012, after she and her hometown of Newtown CT were devastated by the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Jess not only witnessed the impact of mass tragedy all around her but also experienced the full force of her past trauma catching up to her. In 2015, Jess found immense purpose and hope when she joined Dylan's Wings of Change, a foundation dedicated to Dylan Hockley, one of the first-grade victims in the mass shooting. She helped develop the Wingman program for dance studios, sports, and schools and her work as a speaker & educator on empathy, inclusion, and community-building began. It was there in Newtown, teaching dance classes and working alongside brave parents who lost their children, Jess began to connect the value of shame-free, community-based early trauma intervention to the needs of sexual assault survivors.The 2019 arrest of Epstein motivated her to finally confront her past. Breaking her #MeToo silence, she channeled her own healing journey into action.Today, she's the founder and driving force behind 3Joannes SAFR—a groundbreaking Sexual Assault First Aid Certification Course and SA First Aid Kit (mobile app). Through her work, Jess equips communities with the tools to minimize the devastating long-term effects of sexual violence.Her ultimate goal?

This is a link post. Summary During the last four years, our work for animals in Anima International faced several big challenges. I took on the role of Executive Director to help cement the foundations of the organization. Now that we want to build on these foundations to achieve even more impact for animals, we need different skills at the helm. Anima International leadership has appointed Jakub Stencel as the new Interim Executive Director. I have moved from the role of Executive Director to that of President. After four years as Executive Director of Anima International, I pushed for my colleague Jakub Stencel to take over the role at the beginning of July. No, I'm not off chasing new opportunities or planning a quiet retreat.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: I have stepped aside from my role as Executive Director because I think it will help more animals, published by KirstyHenderson on September 3, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary During the last four years, our work for animals in Anima International faced several big challenges. I took on the role of Executive Director to help cement the foundations of the organization. Now that we want to build on these foundations to achieve even more impact for animals, we need different skills at the helm. Anima International leadership has appointed Jakub Stencel as the new Interim Executive Director. I have moved from the role of Executive Director to that of President. After four years as Executive Director of Anima International, I pushed for my colleague Jakub Stencel to take over the role at the beginning of July. No, I'm not off chasing new opportunities or planning a quiet retreat. I'm not taking time off to be with my family (possibly my family are breathing a sigh of relief right now) And no, I wasn't forced out either. Instead, my colleagues and I came to the less dramatic but far more meaningful conclusion that this change would make us a stronger organization. My tenure Becoming Executive Director was never a goal of mine. I've always considered myself a 'reluctant' leader, often taking the lead when organizing games in primary school (elementary school for the Americans out there) only when no one else volunteered. Ever since deciding over a decade ago that I would dedicate my life to animals, I have simply tried to work wherever I was the most needed. Back in early 2020, I was most needed in the role of Executive Director. And boy, has it been a wild ride. I took the reins just one month after much of the world went into Covid lockdowns. This worldwide crisis turned people's thoughts away from animals. Shortly after, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine started. For years, we had been working to help build the foundations of the animal advocacy movement in both Russia and Ukraine, but the war put all of this work into question. Now, not only did we have to rethink our presence in both countries, but we needed to do all we could to ensure the safety of our colleagues. After lots of deliberation, we reluctantly decided to end our work in Russia, and while work in Ukraine continued for over a year despite the ongoing war, we eventually closed our operations there as well. Throughout all of these difficult moments, our mission to help animals didn't waiver. In Poland, an agricultural powerhouse, we continued to fight for hens - this included making sure that companies are implementing their cage-free policies. An example is our investigation into the largest caged-hen egg farm in the European Union, yet again showing the dreadful systemic abuse of animals. At the same time, we also worked with the private sector to introduce alternatives to animal-based products and pushed the current Polish parliament to be the most animal friendly to date. In Denmark and Norway, we continued to campaign for one of the most abused animals in the world - chickens. We managed to push a significant portion of the private sector to commit to end its worst practices. The impact from our campaigns led to the term 'Turbochicken' - which we introduced to describe breeds of chickens whose genes were selected for the drastically unnatural growth of their bodies - being added, in local vernacular, to the official dictionaries of Denmark and Norway. Furthermore, the Danish government declared they would stop purchasing fast-growing broiler breeds. These events illustrate how far we've pushed society to recognize the horrors of factory farming, a system within which chicks' internal organs collapse under their own weight. In countries where our operations are smaller, we still manage to ...
