Another person BTWI wants to recognize during #InspirationalRoleModelsMonth is Monica Roberts. Though she is no longer with us, her work uplifting transgender people and documenting anti-trans violence serves as a continuous inspiration for our organization.

Today is #WorldImmunizationDay , so we wanted to inform our followers about the benefits of getting vaccinated. Vaccines prevent and reduce the severity of disease, and are important for creating "herd immunity" to protect those who can't be vaccinated.

When we hear quotes from MLK, too often are we only reminded of his "I Have a Dream" speech. We shouldn't forget that his ideas about capitalism and poverty are even more relevant than ever. And this questioning of society must consider other types of oppression. #MLKDay

BTWI's next #SpiritualLiteracyMonth recommendation is "The Soul of the Stranger: Reading God and Torah from a Transgender Perspective" by Joy Ladin! In this book, the author approaches Torah stories through a trans lens.

In continuing to honor LGBT activists during #Pride , we remember Stormé DeLarverie, a gender-nonconforming butch woman who is credited with beginning the Stonewall Uprising when she scuffled with police outside the bar. She was a prominent figure in the Gay Liberation movement.

Another role model to remember during #InspirationalRoleModelsMonth is Shirley Chisholm. Chisholm was the first Black woman elected to US Congress, and her work for gender equality and improving circumstances for people in poverty continues to inspire us.
