🌈✨ Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we stand firm in our commitment to equality, freedom, and justice for all. At Project Good Apparel, we believe in the power of love, acceptance, and inclusivity, and we are dedicated to supporting the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community. 🌍❤️ This year's theme, “No one left behind: Equality, freedom and justice for all,” resonates deeply with us. Despite the progress made in recent years, much work still needs to be done. Discrimination and stigma continue to plague our society, leading to serious health disparities and other inequities. That's why we support non-profits in states where LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack. We are committed to helping create a world where everyone is free to be their true selves, without fear or prejudice. Let's continue to push for change, celebrate our diversity, and stand in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ family. Together, we can make sure no one is left behind. 🌟💪 #IDAHOTB #DoGood #EqualityForAll #LGBTQIA #ProjectGoodApparel #LoveIsLove #StandUpForEquality #InclusionMatters #SupportPride #NoOneLeftBehind #JusticeForAll

We normalize conversations about the needs of LGBTQ+ and sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients. We challenge biases and promote ethical research practices while advocating for the collection of SGM data. Through our collaborative initiatives, we actively address systemic barriers, challenge inequitable practices, and promote inclusive policies. Get involved! Follow us on social media, and contact us for ways to contribute to this worthy cause. Together, we can make quality Healthcare for ALL a reality! #SGMAlliance #sexualandgenderminorities #SGM #LGBTQ #healthcareforall #bridginggapsdrivingchange #nonprofitorganization #nonprofit #healthnonprofit

🌈 I am queer. And I don’t like Pride Month 😮💨 I’ll be honest — I have complicated feelings about Pride right now. We have an entire month to celebrate our existence thanks to Black and Brown, Queer and Trans people who riot made it possible for us to get our rights — rights that are still being challenged today everywhere in the world. Pride started as a riot, it should be about resistance and community. But instead, I/we need to work so much harder than any other month because this is the only month our voices get tolerated — and on top of that, corporations use them to make a (huge) profit. 💔 It is draining. This is why at Lutalica, I’m not pushing our comms team to make as much noise as we could during Pride Month. We work for the LGBTQ+ community all year round, and I don’t want my colleagues to feel overwhelmed because this is the only time of the year when straight people acknowledge us. 💪 We want to keep working for the community, providing free support to non-profits who struggle to raise funds for an inclusive brand or an accessible website. These things are not only important, they are crucial, and I will keep shouting this to whoever will listen. I wish we could have started our crowdfunding earlier than Pride Month. We could have done it later, but July and August are holiday months, in September people have no money post-holiday, and then it’s basically Christmas. So here we are — and honestly, it’s not going as well as we hoped because we’re being drowned out by voices that only speak up in the month of June. But we still need your support. 👉 Please watch the video in this post where I explain why this is important. Check out the testimonials we’ve been posting — they are proof that our work is necessary. And then, please reshare and donate to our crowdfunding campaign here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekREhQ3U ✨ Help us design a brighter future for women and queer communities. #QueerAndProud #LGBTQSupport #PurposeOverProfit #Crowdfunding #InclusiveDesign #CommunitySupport #DesignForChange #HappyPride #PrideMonth I'm curious about what other trans and queer entrepreneurs/professionals think. Do you feel the same?

#SeenAndHeard: Amplifying LGBTQ+ Voices During Pride 🏳️🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it's crucial to acknowledge the often unseen and unheard LGBTQ+ individuals facing domestic abuse perpetrated by intimate parters. This issue is sadly frequently overlooked by mainstream public services, including health, policing, and education. This leaves many victims without the support they need. LGBTQ+ victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) often: - Do not recognise their own experiences as abuse. - Fear stigma or disbelief when seeking help from mainstream services. - Face prejudice when accessing support from mainstream services. To address this gap, we’re launching the #SeenAndHeard commitment in the form of a 20-30 min digital course. Designed to raise awareness and provide vital education on LGBTQ+ IPV. The course uses researched lived experiences, brought to life through animation avatars and actor voice-overs. This is to give a voice to those real experiences for many LGBTQ+ who have been silenced and made invisible. Our Pride Campaign Goals: - Engage 5 organisations to incorporate learning into their relevant programs. - Reach 100 individuals to complete the course and become advocates for change. Why This Matters: Workplaces, public services, education and charitable sector can all play a role in being safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. By understanding their unique challenges, we can create more inclusive environments and ensure that every voice is heard. Join Us: By participating in #SeenAndHeard, you’re not just gaining knowledge—you can contribute to a larger movement to advocate and provide more inclusive safe spaces. 50% of all income will be donated to Galop a UK LGBTQ+ abuse charity, directly supporting inclusive health. Let’s work together to amplify these vital stories and ensure that every LGBTQ+ individual feels seen and heard. Your participation can make a difference.

Today is an important one for me - May 17th is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and is a day I get reflective on how far we have come but how far we still need to go. One step forward two steps back is often the case but we won't stop walking and thats what matters. Whether its setting up a PRIDE ERG, advocating for equitable processes and practices through support from Self-ID Demographics, or even reaching out to your friends and colleagues to hear their experiences that they will still be facing today, there are tons of easy things you can do to help us get to a safe and inclusive space. Check your local resources (Chambers of Commerce are a great place to start) or global charities/resources to learn how you can show up and be a better ally! #inclusion #deib #IDAHOT #LGBTQ #proud #diversity

December 5th is International Volunteer Day. The impact on the world that could be made if everyone volunteered is immense.
