Welcome to threads, the inaugural issue of Astraea's newly designed newsletter. Special thanks to designer, Diane Bonder, who worked with Shaya Mercer, Sonya Shields and myself to create a publication that we hope you'll find easier to navigate and more engaging to read.

Thanks also to Astraea Board Member, Marion Banzhaf, for coming up with the perfect title. threads not only describes the purpose of this publication—keeping you connected to our work and mission—but it also describes the essence of what we do. Connecting communities and cultivating leadership lies at the heart of Astraea's work.

Whether it be convening activists from around the world this spring in Thailand or hosting a group of committed LGBTI funders in Santa Cruz this fall, Astraea serves as a thread bringing people and issues together.

With the introduction of our new logo, our new website, and now threads, we look forward to forging an even stronger connection with you as well.

-Jennifer Einhorn, Director of Communications
