Hi As several of you know, I am on the Board of A4TE. This past week was our day to lobby Congress for trans relief. Here is my substack post about my day. I am sharing to increase exposure to this important topic. Danielle https://open.substack.com/pub/qualsit/p/the-recipe-for-a-wonderful-future?r=2s5swi&utm_medium=ios

Happy Friday Syndicate Members!! Great Coffee Chat yesterday and lot's of ideas coming to the community soon. It's Valentines Weekend, so love (and sometimes sadness), is in the air. May you get the restaurant reservation you want, may the chocolate covered strawberries be sweet, and may the time with your significant other be uninterrupted. Fridays are for WINS and I think I will add a fun or goofy poll each week as well. So let the group know, what went great for you this week in work or home? And in honor of Valentines Weekend, partnered or not...What Is Your Love Language??

Hello to the group and thank you to @Danielle Morris for inviting me to this incredible space! I am a communications and marketing strategist based in Portland, OR in the very early stages of building a consulting business, Amplify Impact Marketing. Prior to setting out on this new venture, I spent 8 years working in communications, development, and marketing in the education sector, most recently as a Senior Marketing Manager at Corwin Press overseeing their line of books focused on advancing equity and justice in schools and supporting BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, and multilingual students. Through Amplify Impact Marketing, I'm interested in working with authors in the education justice space, nonprofits focused on advancing justice and equity, and B-Corps or other mission-driven companies serving communities under threat from this administration. I am also a published novelist and essayist with a volunteer project--Amplify Writers--focused on supporting the career development of writers with identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences that are under-represented in the publishing eco-system. My first campaign with Amplify Impact is an all-volunteer effort to oppose proposed changes to Medicare and Medicaid funding that threatens minors' access to gender-affirming care. Our campaign--#PSWeLoveYou--encourages people to leave a comment in opposition on the federal register and include a PS note directly in support of trans kids. My team will be pulling these comments and publishing them as an ongoing show of community love for 2SLGBTQIA+ kids. We are also publishing educational graphics about what gender-affirming care is alongside blog posts and podcast interviews from impacted community.

Good morning all! This post comes a few days ahead of the Friday Wins. I wanted to share that we have officially been certified as an LGBTBE by the NGLCC (National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce). We have been working for months to complete the process. This now opens doors for us to various Diverse Supplier opportunities and to connect with over 2,200 Certified LGBT Businesses. If you want more info about how to get your LGBTBE, shoot me a message. ☕🌈
