Greetings,
As we step into March, we’re excited to be getting closer to spring and celebrate both Women’s History Month and International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31st. This month is a powerful reminder of the incredible strides women, trans, and gender-diverse communities have made throughout history and an opportunity to amplify new voices and work in our communities.
This month includes the launch of our new TAJA Co: News that includes features, interviews, and articles by and for our communities. Check it out here.
Also, this month’s TAJA SPEAK newsletter includes an analysis of the landscape of women’s rights, early insights into the U.S. Trans Survey, program highlights and events, tech trends feature that celebrates ten organizations that support youth, women, Black, Latinx, and LGBTQ tech workers and learners, and much more.
Together, let’s make March a month of inspiration, education, and empowerment. Stay tuned to our blog for additional events, stories, and discussions that highlight the remarkable impact of women, trans, and gender-diverse individuals on our shared history. Here’s to a month of celebration and reflection!
Thank you,
Akira Jackson
