Energy Allies’ Post

Despite the fact that the article emphasizes the context of International Women’s Day, I am confident that this topic is relevant regardless of the date. I completely agree with the author of the article and the points made within it. I believe that everyone can contribute to the efforts to achieve gender equality and eradicate corresponding biases. As an example, I participate in the Women in Tech program as a mentor. If you also want to help but don't know where to start, this program can be a good starting point. Returning to the original topic of men’s participation in discussions and events, celebrating women's achievements and advocating for gender equality, here are my thoughts on the matter: 1. Shared Responsibility Gender equality is not a women's issue; it is a societal issue. Men and women must work together to create a balanced and fair society. By involving men in International Women’s Day, we emphasize that achieving gender equality is a shared responsibility. 2. Breaking Stereotypes Including men in IWD activities can help break down harmful gender stereotypes. When men actively participate in advocating for women's rights, it challenges the notion that gender equality is solely a women's issue and promotes the idea that men can be allies in the fight against discrimination and inequality. 3. Role Models for Future Generations Having men actively support and participate in IWD sets a positive example for the younger generation. Boys and young men can see that advocating for gender equality is a commendable and important endeavor, which can inspire them to continue this work in the future. 4. Addressing Male Privilege Men often hold positions of power and influence in many sectors. By engaging these men in IWD, we can encourage them to use their privilege to support policies and practices that promote gender equality. This can lead to more significant and systemic changes within organizations and society at large. 5. Creating Inclusive Workplaces Involving men in conversations about gender equality can lead to more inclusive workplaces. Men who understand and support gender equality are more likely to advocate for policies that benefit everyone, such as parental leave, flexible working hours, and equal pay. 6. Combating Gender-Based Violence Men have a critical role to play in combating gender-based violence. By participating in IWD, men can learn about the impact of violence against women and be part of the solution by challenging harmful behaviors and supporting victims. 7. Building Stronger Communities Communities thrive when all members have equal opportunities and rights. Men and women working together towards gender equality can create stronger, more resilient communities where everyone can contribute and succeed. Let me know what you think about this.

Last week, I had the opportunity to partner with Profitable Ideas Exchange to facilitate a panel discussion as a part of the DEI Community Roundtable. This was a unique experience in which we centered queer voices and elevated some Bozeman organizations that support 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the Gallatin Valley and Montana 🌈 This energetic discussion provided space for dialogue between queer-supporting organizations and local private and non-profit companies. Representatives from Bridgercare, The Countship of the ISCSM (Imperial Sovereign Court of the State of Montana), Pride House, MT Trans Closet, and Queer Bozeman shared some of the following calls to action for local companies and organizations: ✅ Donate your time and money. No time or amount is too small. ✅ Be visibly supportive: share or repost activities and events, resources, logos, etc. and take advantage of educational opportunities. ✅ Do the work: be curious; ask questions; read, research, and expose yourself to difference on a regular basis. I am incredibly proud to have provided a platform for these local 2SLGBTQIA+ serving organizations to share about their missions, challenges, and actions of allyship. It brings me joy to know that in this space, we lifted the voices of those with boots on the ground, doing this impactful work. I genuinely believe Bozeman and other MT communities are safer and more aware with organizations like these having meaningful conversations with local business owners and associates 🤝 So, my call to action is to think beyond this month, Pride Month. As we approach the USA presidential election later this year as well as understand the human rights that are being jeopardized, how do you show up? Moving beyond the individual, and as sparked by the reflected panel discussion, in what ways is your organization staying informed, showing support, and doing the work?
