  • LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing
    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing Black people have been killed, Black people are dying at the hands of police, our country is in crisis, and we all need to take action. We cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot acquiesce, and we cannot assign responsibility to others. We, as leaders in the LGBTQ movement, must rise up and call for structural change, for divestment of police resources and reinvestment in communities, and for long-term transformational change. Now is the time to take action, and this letter amplifies our strong calls for urgent and immediate action to be taken. Ongoing police brutality and systemic racism have plagued this nation for generations and have been captured on video and laid bare to the public in the United States and around the world. In 2019, more than 1,000 people were killed at the hands of the police.1 We mourn the unacceptable and untimely deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Mya Hall, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and many more who were gone too soon. We have seen with increased frequency the shocking video footage of police brutality. Officers have been recorded instigating violence, screaming obscenities, dragging individuals out of cars, using unnecessary force, holding individuals at gunpoint, and kneeling on peoples’ necks to the desperate plea of “I can’t breathe.” These occurrences are stark reminders of a police system that needs structural changes, deconstruction, and transformation. No one should fear for their lives when they are pulled over by the police.

  • Ruth Eisenberg Has Been a Member of Bet Mishpachah Since 1981, As
    Ruth Eisenberg has been a member of Bet Mishpachah since 1981, as she joined shortly after arriving in Washington, D.C to work for the Security and Exchange Commission. Since that time, she has dedicated her entire legal career to the public sector. As an attorney myself, Ruth has been an inspiration, and it is my honor to give this award on behalf of the congregation. After leaving the SEC, Ruth litigated disability rights cases at the National Veterans Legal Services Program and served as Director of Legal Services at the Whitman-Walker Clinic, representing hundreds of people living with HIV/AIDs to fight discrimination during the height of the epidemic Ruth, a partner of the DC firm Harmon, Curran, Speilberg & Eisenberg, is known as one of Washington’s leading lawyers representing nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations in employment and general corporate matters. Her book is extensive and the nonprofit community is lucky to have her. Her mom as well, who happens to be a neighbor of my grandmother’s in Chevy Chase, whom she visits often with kosher deli from Moti’s. But our Ruth, our Ruth! has also been an activist for lesbian and feminist causes since her college days in St. Louis, Missouri. Did you know, that in the early 1980s, Ruth was part of a group of subversive D.C. lesbians who took direct actions, such as painting “In Search of Reagan’s Brain” on the sidewalk in front of the conservative Heritage Foundation? She has participated in many protests in Washington, D.C. over the years, and in the last four too many to count.

  • In the Making
    JUSTICE IN THE MAKING Astraea LESBIAN FOUNDatiON FOR JUSTICE 2010 Annual Report LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, As we face a global economic recession and right-wing resurgence, the worldwide euphoria surrounding the historic election of President Obama seems distant, a stark reminder that no one election or law can transform society. Deep, transformative change takes the sustained efforts of large groups of people who undergird legal and policy advances with cultural change work. Astraea grantee partners are taking the lead, orchestrating victories in human rights law, artistic freedom and self-determination; and providing solace and solutions to those living in isolation, fear or poverty. They are forging coalitions across movements and issues, and employing multiple strategies to tackle entrenched problems. Poignant examples of these efforts are the U.S. Movement-Building Initiative, the Social Change Opportunity Fund and the grantee partner highlights featured within these pages. In the fields of social justice and feminist philanthropy, Astraea has played a leadership role in positive shifts. There are more institutional and individual donors supporting LGBTI issues than ever before. Though more is needed, available resources have increased for lesbian, trans and LGBTI people of color organizations that incorporate critical gender, racial and economic justice issues in their work. So that these organizations have the stability to strategize for the long term, Astraea is making larger grants and has more than doubled the number of multi-year grants. We are strengthening a global movement by convening our grantee partners and collaborating with the Latin American Consortium of Women’s Funds (a region-wide initiative) and Funders for LGBTQ Issues in its nationwide racial equity initiative.
