I’m proud to announce that Girls for Gender Equity (GGE), the organization I work for, is holding a huge festival in Brooklyn next Sunday for gender equality.

While GGE generally focuses its programming on girls aged 9-14, this particular event is for all people who want to come support. (And even learn a bit too!) The festival is featuring over 70 organizations, in which 45 of them are holding workshops on varying issues such as street harassment, health care rights, body image, HIV/AIDS, trans-bias in schools, democratic education, and police brutality.

We’re also going to have a number of speakers and performers including NYC councilmember and Congressional candidate Yvette Clarke, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, and Piper Anderson.

So please feel free to spread the word/come by/bring friends and be a part of the movement. Here’s the info:

NYC Gender Equality Festival
Sunday, August 27th
11 AM – 3 PM
Von King Park – Tompkins and Lafayette Aves, Brooklyn, NY

Hope to see you there!

Yvette Clarke is great! Good luck with the event.

Too bad I'll be on the opposite coast...

I'll be there, provided I don't get lost on the way in the maze that is Brooklyn's streets.
