FRIDAY May 10th: DC Women + GI Story Collection and Celebration
Back in October of last year, we hosted an event, GI and DC Women, to tell stories virtually via Zoom about how guaranteed income could connect the lives of women, including those who identify as moms, to resources for basic needs that disproportionately impact women.
On Friday, May 10th, we invite women in DC to a recording session to tell their stories about housing insecurity, family policing involvement, and sex work and share how guaranteed income could help address these issues. We’ll be joined by the Our Stories, Our Justice Project, a participatory storytelling project that centers individuals and their communities in a collective effort to (re)produce oral and visual histories that shine a light on a continuum of radical leadership by BIPOC women. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in this event, please let us know and forward this event to your networks. We will provide an honoraria payment for your time.
