Amita Swadhin, the Founding Co-Director, will moderate a conversation between three Mirror Memoirs survivor storytellers on how our movements can better support the healing and leadership of survivors that are often left out of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Survivor-led movements to end sexual violence are beginning to recognize how systemic oppression creates an environment for rape culture to thrive. A 2012 study from the American Academy of Pediatrics found gender non-conformity in childhood is a risk factor for sexual abuse, with gender non-conforming male-assigned-at-birth children most likely to be sexually abused. Yet too often, our movements to end gender-based violence do not intentionally uplift the leadership of transgender, non-binary and intersex survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panel: (see site for more bio info)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Amita Swadhin<\/em>&nbsp;(they\/them) is an organizer, educator, storyteller and strategist working to end interpersonal and institutional violence against young people. Their work stems from their experiences as a non-binary, femme, queer person of color, daughter of immigrants from India and years of childhood abuse by their parents, including eight years of rape by their father. In 2016, Swadhin received a Just Beginnings Collaborative Fellowship, allowing them to launch Mirror Memoirs, a national storytelling and organizing project uplifting the narratives, healing and leadership of Two Spirit, transgender, intersex, non-binary and\/or queer Black, Indigenous and of color survivors of child sexual abuse, in service of ending rape culture and intertwined forms of oppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ebony Ava Harper<\/em>&nbsp;is a Jamaican descendant, Sacramento-based, nationally recognized activist, philanthropist, writer, creator, life and world-changer, advocate for marginalized communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harper left The California Endowment in 2019 to step into the role of Director of California TRANScends.

A new administration has taken over, and while we have reasons to be optimistic, there is still work to be done. On International Transgender Day of Visibility, join us for this two-part discussion as we reflect on how we got to this point, take stock of where we are, and imagine how our government can help us build a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we&#8217;ll hear from the cast and creators of Trans In Trumpland about their lived experiences under anti-trans policies across the country, both now and during the previous administration. Then we&#8217;ll be joined by an expert panel at the forefront of trans and nonbinary policy, who will share insight on the work being done to shape a more equitable and inclusive America. Both parts of the discussion will be moderated by Jeffrey Masters (he\/him), Director of Podcasts at Pride Media, publisher of The Advocate and Out Magazine and the creator and host of the long-running interview podcast, LGBTQ&amp;A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panelists include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ash<\/strong>&nbsp;(he\/him),&nbsp;<strong>Daisy<\/strong>&nbsp;(she\/her), and&nbsp;<strong>Rebecca<\/strong>&nbsp;(she\/her), Trans in Trumpland cast members<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tony Zosherafatain<\/strong>&nbsp;(he\/him), director &amp; host of Trans in Trumpland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jamie DiNicola<\/strong>&nbsp;(he\/him), producer of Trans in Trumpland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Senator Sarah McBride<\/strong>&nbsp;(she\/her), First State Senate District of Delaware<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carmarion D.

On the anniversary of this important moment of international solidarity, we are bringing the spirit of frontline, indigenous pipeline resistance to Washington DC to demand Joe Biden Build Back Fossil Free by revoking the Army Corps permits for Line 3 and shut down DAPL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux youth ran 93 miles to the site of that resistance to pressure President Biden to shut down the Bakken oil pipeline.<br><br>For too long Indigenous communities have carried the weight of our addiction to oil &amp; gas despite their objections. Consultation is not consent. Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) must be the standard for tribal nations impacted by dangerous oil and gas infrastructure.<br><br>Indigenous communities are asking Biden to follow their mandate given with their vote; show up for Black, Indigenous and communities of color fighting for to protect water, land, sky and their bodies from toxic pollution and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ORGANIZATIONS<br><br>Indigenous Environmental Network<br>GINIW Collection<br>Standing Rock Youth Council<br>Cheyenne River Grassroots Collective<br>Honor The Earth<br>Red Lake Treaty Camp<br>Manoomin Genawendang Endazhigabeshing<br>Camp Migizi<br>Seeding Sovereignty<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2021\/03\/28\/18841194.php\">DAPL &amp; Line 3 D.C.
