CARE Tuesday Talks: Changing Policy Through Advocacy
Advocacy involves promoting the interests or cause of someone or a group of people. An advocate is a person who argues for, recommends, or supports a cause or policy. Advocacy is also about helping people find their voice. There are three types of advocacy - self-advocacy, individual advocacy and systems advocacy. Self-advocacy refers to an individual's ability to effectively communicate, convey, negotiate or assert his or her own interests, desires, needs, and rights
In individual advocacy a person or group of people concentrate their efforts on just one or two individuals. According to the group Advocacy for Inclusion "Advocacy is having someone to stand beside you if you think something is unfair or that someone is treating you badly and you would like to do something to change it."Systems advocacy is about changing policies, laws or rules that impact how someone lives their life. These efforts can be targeted at a local, state, or national agency. The focus can be changing laws, or simply written or unwritten policy.
So, in today’s conversation we will give space to amazing and pioneering women who are pushing for progressive and equitable policies

CARE Tuesday Talks: Highlighting Pride Month
June is Pride Month, when the world's LGBTQ communities (https://www.cnn.com/2015/06/19/us/lgbt-rights-milestones-fast-facts/index.html) come together and celebrate the freedom to be themselves. Pride gatherings are rooted in the arduous history of minority groups who have struggled for decades to overcome prejudice and be accepted for who they are.
The original organizers chose this month to pay homage to the Stonewall uprising (https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/16/us/gallery/tbt-first-pride-parades/index.html) in June 1969 in New York City, which helped spark the modern gay rights movement. On a hot summer’s night in New York on June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in Greenwich Village, which resulted in bar patrons, staff, and neighborhood residents rioting onto Christopher Street outside. Among the many leaders of the riots was a black, trans, bisexual woman, Marsha P. Johnson, leading the movement to continue over six days with protests and clashes. The message was clear — protestors demanded the establishment of places where LGBT+ people could go and be open about their sexual orientation without fear of arrest.
So, in today’s conversation we will give space to amazing and pioneering women who are pushing for equal rights and treatment of individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.

CARE Tuesday Talks: World Refugee Day
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honor refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
World Refugee Day shines a light on the rights, needs and dreams of refugees, helping to mobilize
political will and resources so refugees can not only survive but also thrive. While it is important to
protect and improve the lives of refugees every single day, international days like World Refugee
Day helps to focus global attention on the plight of those fleeing conflict or persecution.
So, in today’s conversation we will give space to amazing and pioneering women who are working to support refugee communities.
