SUMMARY:Revisioning Democracy Podcast Episode 6: Grassroots Resistance to the War on Gender: The Lessons of Florida (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:On Episode 6 of Revisioning Democracy\, we’ll examine the Lessons of Florida and community intersectional strategies that LGBTQIA+ groups and activists used there to successfully fight back against the Ron DeSantis anti-gay and anti-diversity attacks – after the initial shock of the state “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Join special guest Nadine Smith\, Executive Director of Equality Florida\, and a dynamic activist and former journalist\, in conversation with podcast co-hosts Anne-christine d’Adesky and Jay W. Walker. We’ll also talk about what didn’t happen. Tune in to this  important conversation on what Florida can teach us all now about fighting the war on gender and community and NGO preparedness\, resistance\, and coalition-building with an eye on Project 2025’s unfolding agenda. \n  \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \n  \nNadine Smith is the co-founder and CEO of Equality Florida\, the state’s largest organization dedicated to ending discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. \nA former award-winning journalist turned organizer\, Nadine was one of four national co-chairs of the 1993 March on Washington. She was part of the historic oval office meeting between then-President Clinton\, the first such meeting between a sitting President and gay community leaders. She served on the founding board of the International Gay and Lesbian Youth Organization\, which celebrates 30 years in 2014. \nShe is a Florida Chamber Foundation Trustee\, board member for Green Florida and served on President Obama’s National Finance Committee.
