“From the COVID-19 pandemic to structural racism, community-based organizations have always stepped up to fill the gaps and forge new solutions—especially where government is unable, unwilling, or ineffective.”—Kristen Caloca &Vanessa Schnaidt, @CauseComm. bit.ly/3BVGnBD

(5/5) Thank you to @LindseyPHorvath, @lapride, @LALGBTCenter, @ACLU_SoCal and many others for your outspoken leadership. #Pride2023 #LADodgers #LoveIsLove #community #LAPride
(4/5) By reacting out of fear and engaging in activities that "other" the most marginalized in our communities like uninviting the Sisters, @Dodgers engaged in a biased, anti-LGBTQ+ response opposite the values and purpose of events like Pride.🏳️🌈
(3/5) We urge @Dodgers to make this right by reinstating the invitation and committing to engage in authentic dialogue with the Los Angeles LGBTQ+ community.
(2/5) Los Angeles is Cause's home, & the shortsighted, reactive decision by the @Dodgers to uninvite the community-based nonprofit @SFSisters from Pride Night at the stadium is clearly driven by fear and biased actors outside of our community. This is unacceptable.
(1/5) As an organization founded and led by an LGBTQ+ woman, it is in @CauseComm's DNA to seek justice and equity to build a better world including standing against any and all anti-LGBTQ+ actions.
Cause is proud to be part of a community of social justice leaders who are making change in Los Angeles and across the country. #USD40 (4/4)
Creative Vision Award recipient @chloearnold reminded us that, “Even if you don’t have traditional means to give, there are infinite ways to share what you have inside you.” #USD40 (2/4)
Last week, Cause team members Chris Hershey, Susan Van Horn, and Vanessa Schnaidt attended @LibertyHill Foundation’s 40th annual Upton Sinclair Celebration. It was a night that honored local organizers and leaders fighting for a more just future. #USD40 (1/4)
So great to be part of @Socalgrantmaker's #scgREIMAGINE conference today and connect with "constructive disruptors" from across the region. Narrative shifts, power building, and co-governance were just a few of the themes we explored together.
“We are all harmed by harmful narratives.” In her talk at #frank2023, @rachelannyes offers important reminders about the power of coming together to create a new "narrative North Star" that points us towards collective freedom.
The Linda Hon Prize in Public Interest Communications Research at #frank2023 is another great example that scholars and practitioners are better together. Thank you to all of the researchers who enable us to apply the science of social change to our work. @RealGoodCenter
“Find the courage to stand in the long arc and create the world our descendants are asking us for.”
