After Jill Sobule's tragic death last year, a group of her songwriting students - including me - decided to make a tribute album to honour her. Today is the 1st anniversary of its release. All proceeds go to the Bayard Rustin Centre for Social Justice. thejillproject.bandcamp.com/…

For Pride Month, revisit this episode from Solidarity Works where we talk to 2 activists from the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice about their work with the LGBTQ+ community and how everyone can play a role in building a more inclusive movement.

Happy Princeton Pride 🏳️🌈
Thrilled to join @RustinCenter alongside so many wonderful, loving, people to celebrate our LGBTQ+ neighbors. Pride is proof that the joy of acceptance and compassion will always overpower fear and hatred. I'm proud to stand for the former everyday.

With support from AHA's LGBTQ+ Organizer Fund, organizers at the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice hosted nineteen participants from 6 counties to craft vision boards! Leader Brooke Zevon reports that she “could feel the momentum continuing even after people left!"

Federal funding for @NEHgov is mandated by law (and has been for 50+ years). Part of the funding then goes to state councils like @NJhumanities, which supports local projects like our Bayard Rustin Queer History Archive. Keep the humanities in our communities.
