Nationally, as many as 1 in 3 youth in the foster care system identify as part of the LGBTQIA community. As we celebrate Pride in San Diego, many of the LGBTQIA youth in our foster care locally are still waiting for an advocate. These youth, removed from their home through no fault of their own, need just one caring, consistent adult to help ensure they get all that they need to thrive. Our volunteers spend just 10-15 hours each month on their case – but that dedicated time ensures that the needs of those youth are not overlooked and that they do not feel forgotten. Help us provide a trained advocate for every child who needs one – click here to sign up for a volunteer information session: https://www.speakupnow.org/volunteer-2/information-sessions/

Lacy Crawford's is a searing story of injustice. Sexually assaulted at 15 years old, the author investigates her own past as society grapples with gender, power, and privilege - and the roiling depths of shame and guilt used to silence victims like herself. Crawford's 2020 book, "Notes on a Silencing," caused a storm of media coverage and an apology from her elite New England boarding school thirty years later. On September 30, the Coronado Public Library in partnership with Warwick's will host Crawford to discuss her book in the Winn Room. Admission is $40 and includes a luncheon and signed copy. Buy tickets at cplevents.org. Use credit card or PayPal. Proceeds benefit the Friends of the Library.
