Women’s Educational Media

Happy Halloween, everyone! Some of you may not have heard about an organization called the Women’s Education Media, so I want to let you know about their work. They run a training project called Respect For All, which deals with diversity in schools. They also created a documentary called It’s Elementary, which is for schoolchildren to learn about LGBT issues, as well as the films Let’s Get Real and That’s a Family!, described below . For those of you in the San Francisco area, this upcoming event may be of interest to you:
