The word of the week is “Justice.” As news of new indictments flood the news, we’d like to appreciate the courageous Attorney Generals & District Attorneys across the country.

It is a powerful description of the challenges we all face and an important reminder to keep focused and vigilant. We’re grateful that this GAIN Power community is committed daily to righting these problems we face. In our Career Center, there are opportunities added daily that will allow you to jump into the fray heading into the 2024 election cycle.

This weekend marks the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington and many organizations are commemorating with gatherings in DC and around the country. Whether you participate in person or not, we encourage you to take time for some reflection. Many great stories are being shared about the event’s history. Others are challenging us with contemporary calls to action. Worth a read is this by Melanie Campbell and Rebekah Caruthers: These Black Women Were Behind The March On Washington. We Must Still Carry On Their Legacy   Another that spoke to me is this piece by Kelly Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign in Time magazine. What the March on Washington Can Teach Us About the Fight for Black Queer Freedom This is so much better to focus on than the clown show / debate in Milwaukee this week or Trump & Company’s arraignments in GA. Except they serve as a continued reminder of why the work we all do is so important. Our Career Center opportunities are already shifting to the 2024 election cycle. We also have two Virtual Career Fairs scheduled for September 7th & December 7th to link talent with progressive organizations.
