You can bring NEW socks to any J.P. Licks to help the women served by Rosie's Place & to grab yourself a cone.

Incredibly humbled and excited to join the committed and talented team at @RosiesPlace as Chief Advancement Officer next month. This work is so important every day. Thank you to so many people who make the work at Rosie’s possible! developmentguild.com/complet… – at Boston, MA
So proud to be affiliated with Mary Bonauto and @GLADLaw. Congratulations on this historic day that was decades in the making, and thank you to so many people for sharing their stories and being themselves! #RespectForMarriageAct @POTUS ❤️🌈 – at Boston, MA
The Respect for Marriage Act finally repeals DOMA and enshrines marriage equality in law.
We wouldn’t be here today without the tireless work of so many advocates—folks like Mary Bonauto—who laid the groundwork for marriage equality in MA and nationwide.

One of my favorite projects of the year! Thanks to our donors for their many contributions! @BrandeisBiz @BrandeisU @BrandeisUAlumni – at Waltham, MA
Our donors always help us in countless tremendous ways, but their generosity and support through the pandemic were truly inspiring. Thank you to everyone who chipped in. Your contributions mean the world to us, and to our students.

Launching & raising money for our Peace Scholarship to provide support to students like Sofiia to attend @BrandeisBiz has been one of my proudest experiences. Thanks to @WBUR @RadioBoston @tiziana_dearing for amplifying Sofiia’s harrowing story. It’s worth the listen 🎧 👂. – at Boston, MA

Hoping the rain 🌧 holds off as we listen to excellent reggae music at Horatio Harris Park in Roxbury! Thanks to @BostonParksDept @MayorWu for summer music in the city! 🎶 😎@SparkBoston – at Boston, MA
Attended my first in-person @GLADLaw Summer Party in a few years in Provincetown. Despite the setbacks and fears that are real and painful, our vision of freedom, liberation, and intersectional justice for all remains front and center in our work and must be fought for. 🌈 🏳️⚧️ – at Massachusetts, USA

GLAD is working to pass critical legislation by July 31- the end of the Massachusetts legislative session. The clock is ticking on the MA Parentage Act & a bill to expand access to PrEP. With LGBTQ rights under threat nationwide, there's no time to waste. bostonspiritmagazine.com/202…

The most damning part of this in my opinion is reading that the CFO at the time more or less killed the potential adoption of this approach city-wide and therefore it eventually died at Timilty too. – at North Olmsted, OH

One of the highlights and biggest pride points of my career right here . Grateful to our donors and eager to talk to more of them who want to help welcome those fleeing and being persecuted. @BrandeisU @BrandeisBiz – at Boston, MA
