As 2023 comes to a close, BC Voices’ thanks you for partnering with us in 2023 to launch Stand UP, Speak OUT Episode 3: Reproductive Rights, the story of how critical reproductive rights are to women’s ongoing freedom and independence. In August, BC Voices released the compelling, comprehensive and moving 28-minute historical  documentary, Stand UP, Speak OUT: Reproductive Rights - Know Your Rights, chronicling American women’s 200+ years and ongoing fight for reproductive freedom. It calls on us to Stand UP and Speak OUT until every woman has bodily autonomy, the right to bear or not bear children, and can raise her children in a safe and sustainable community. Our promotion campaign included a screening at a Lush Cosmetics store in Manhattan; and two Zoom watch parties, including a discussion among four distinguished feminist scholars elucidating the race and class complexities of reproductive freedom.  Three of the four short multi-generational conversations comprising Stand UP, Speak OUT: Reproductive Rights – Personal Stories were awarded Best In Social Justice Films by the NYWIFT 2023 Online Shorts Festival  – Sterilization, Birth Control and Abortion. These stories from racially diverse women expose what’s changed, what’s the same, and how far all American women have to go to reach reproductive autonomy. We are reaching out to college professors and civic organizations, letting them know the short documentaries that make up SUSO Episode1: Equal Pay, Episode 2: Voting Rights and Episode 3: Reproductive Rights are available to them, free of charge, to include in courses and events. We hope the Stand UP, Speak OUT Docuseries will inspire the younger generation to join the fight for women's full equality. Coming in 2024, the next chapter in the story of the historically unprecedented lives lived by women over the past 50+ years, Stand UP, Speak OUT Episode 4: To Marry Whom We Love, or, Not At All . With new freedoms and independence since the mid-20th century, many women’s options around partnering and singlehood have expanded – to choose partners regardless of race, gender, faith, and class; to partner multiple times to find the “right” one; to create families with or without partners, without stigma; or to live full lives as single women. We invite you to help us raise the funds to produce this next chapter in our award-winning docuseries, Stand UP, Speak OUT: The Personal Politics of Women’s Rights, and, consider a tax-deductible contribution as part of your 2023 year-end charitable giving plans.   With a donation of any amount, www.bcvoices.org/donate, you join us in our mission to tell the story of women's ongoing fight for full equality through historical narratives and personal storytelling, illuminating the battles, highlighting the successes, and inspiring us all to stay engaged in the continuing fight. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.  We wish you peace, joy, and good health in 2024.

How to make Money from Instagram with ONE simple template https://lnkd.in/g-4MHrsr

One theme that emerged as we surveyed our partners about their work supporting adolescent girls and young women of color: we need more funders who are willing to trust girls' knowledge and leadership. 👉 It's hard to get money for girls around policy/advocacy, because childhood is considered separate from the public sphere—even though many teen girls are already activists 👉 It's hard to get funding that supports girls' mental health, even though girls themselves often cite that as one of their biggest challenges 👉 It's hard to get funding for experimental work that allows girls to activate their own agency and power. As one focus group participant told us: "It is very easy to request money for sanitary pads, but if you try and get funding for girls to start their own factory where they will produce sanitary products, it's really tough." Philanthropy needs to learn: if you want to help girls and young women of color thrive, you have to start trusting them. Full survey results and analysis at the link in the comments. Tides’ Advancing Girls fund supports girl-led change in the U.S. and the global south so that girls of color can create the world they know is possible. #philanthropy #intersectionalfeminism #genderjustice

🌸 Honoring Mothers, Empowering Women 🌸 As we celebrate the incredible mothers in our lives this Mother's Day, it's essential to acknowledge that not all women have the privilege of safety and security. Violence against women continues to be a pervasive issue worldwide, affecting countless lives every day. This Mother's Day, let's not only celebrate but also advocate for the safety and well-being of all women, regardless of their circumstances. Social service workers play a crucial role in this fight. We provide support, guidance, and resources to survivors of domestic violence, helping them rebuild their lives and reclaim their independence. Our dedication and compassion make a profound difference in the lives of those in need. As we reflect on the significance of this day, let's also consider how we can unite our power and organizations working tirelessly to end violence against women. Whether it's through volunteering, donations, or simply raising awareness, every action counts. Together, let's create a world where all women can live free from fear and violence. Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers out there, and may we continue to strive for a brighter, safer future for women everywhere. 💐 #MothersDay #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #Genderbasedviolence

This morning I attended the annual AFP-GPC Funders Forum, during which three accomplished, local philanthropy professionals discussed their roles as grant makers and current funding priorities. Some takeaways to share: ✔Community and private foundations genuinely want to get to know their community partners! Reach out and connect with Foundation staff by attending local events or setting up a call. ✔Before going through the entire grant proposal process, talk to an officer at the foundation and/or submit a letter of intent to be sure priorities align. ✔Make sure your organization's/initiative's social media accounts are active and up to date. ✔ While the majority of grants do tend to be for program development purposes, this does not exclude general operating support allocation like staffing resources. And, if general operating support for sustainability is needed most, then let them know! I think about general operating support a lot as I work with organizations to build their evaluation and performance monitoring infrastructure across the organization, not just within a specific program.
