Our Members Tell Our Story

At a recent event, IWF NorCal members described something we are grateful for, using one word. This graphic depicts the responses of the many things we appreciate during this unique time of the pandemic. 

Nanette Lee Miller: "The pride celebration is about pride and equality! I have been very fortunate to have been a voice on this as well as a media point person on marriage equality issues and the related tax equality issues. This has been personally very fulfilling for me and my LGBTQ community. I did get married to my partner of 20 years, so it did affect me! I am also proud of my IWF allies and their support. We can change peoples' perception with knowledge and advocacy. Always important with so many issues now."
