Join us in Philadelphia for a cocktail party to support LGBTQI movements for justice worldwide!
The Astraea Foundation for Justice, together with Carre d’artistes Philadelphia, is hosting a gathering on Thursday, January 19, 2017, from 5:00-7:00 pm, and we want to see you there! Come hear Director of Programs, Sarah Gunther, and others share about how we can build community in light of the current political climate and learn about Astraea’s work, priorities, and strategies as we lean into 2017. Together we can ensure that the LGBTQI communities around the world are best positioned to respond to the changing landscape. Light refreshments will be served.
Warmly,

Black and Brown Workers Cooperative
The mission of the Black and Brown Workers Cooperative is to fight for the social and economic liberation of the black and brown LGBTQIA worker.
The mission of the Black and Brown Workers Cooperative is to fight for the social and economic liberation of the black and brown LGBTQIA worker. They were birthed out of the HIV/AIDS non-profit sector as a result of injustices such as hiring and firing practices, recruitment strategies, salary distribution, and professional investment happening within a vacuum, while simultaneously marginalizing those black and brown LGBTQIA people who they profess to serve.
This organization is supported through the Funding Queerly Giving Circle, which is housed at Astraea.
Hearts on a Wire Collective
Hearts on a Wire is a Philadelphia-based collective of transgender and gender variant (“T/GV”) people building a movement for gender self-determination, racial and economic justice, and an end to the policing and imprisoning of our communities.
Hearts on a Wire is a Philadelphia-based collective of transgender and gender variant (“T/GV”) people building a movement for gender self-determination, racial and economic justice, and an end to the policing and imprisoning of our communities. Because we recognize the harm and trauma that imprisonment causes, we work to support those most impacted by mass incarceration, specifically T/GV communities of color. Our approach is trauma informed and rooted in transformative justice – we believe that everyone is impacted by harm and violence and that everyone is capable of personal transformation. Within this framework, we imagine and work towards sustainable alternatives to punishment and imprisonment. Because mass incarceration effectively portrays incarcerated people as incapable of personal transformation, we work to break down stigma and elevate and nurture the humanity of our inside membership. Our work aims to disrupt the cycle of imprisonment and reincarceration by creating community both inside and outside of prisons.
