More FEDtalks Now Available!

August 22, 2013

At this year’s Summer Meeting, we invited state leaders and our Federation interns to take five minutes to share a big idea, talk through an innovative strategy, or offer up an exciting concept. We called the presentations FEDtalks, and since the meeting wrapped, we keep getting requests to publish the videos online.

Here's a new batch of the amazing FEDtalks -- watch them now! These talks and more are also available on our YouTube Channel!

Fist, Troy Stevenson, Executive Director at Garden State Equality, talks about their bill to ban conversion therapy, which was just signed into law by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

 

 

 

Second, Marina Santiago, Intern at Equality Texas, talks about her work with local homeless shelters in Austin.

 

 

 

Third, Ted Martin, Executive Director at Equality Pennsylvania, talks about the organization's work to build an LGBT Equality Caucus in the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

Shifting the Narrative: LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Breast Cancer Awareness
