Project LPAC is a charitable organization that seeks to understand and increase LGBTQ women’s political participation. It was launched in early-2019 and is conducting first-of-its kind, much-needed research into the issues that drive LGBTQ women to vote, volunteer, and donate. So it is about empowering women.

Project LPAC is a fiscally sponsored project of the Social Good Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Contributions may be tax deductible. Event FMV is $10.

Proudly organized by Yale GALA, Inc, QGirls and Project LPAC.

Join us for a cocktail party and a close encounter with the Diverse Bodies Project!

The Diverse Bodies Project is a photo-interview series celebrating diverse bodies! It seeks to broaden our view of what is beautiful and delve into the ways we see ourselves and others. The team intentionally brings together queer, straight, young, old, different races, body types, nationalities, and more to create an inclusive project focused on highlighting that diversity includes us ALL. Each individual interview delves into the relationship and unique experiences that the participants have with their bodies to create a project highlighting both the physical and the internal.

We’ll hear from a panel of participants from the Diverse Bodies Project speaking to queer and trans representation in the book. Attendees will have the opportunity to see previews of this beautiful work and there will be mini-book versions available.

The panel will run from 7 to 7:45 and we’ll have wine and light nibbles before and after.

Thanks to our hosts, Princeton’s Martin Kaminer, Princeton BTGALA’s Shawn Cowls and Diverse Bodies’ Yael Rosenstock!
