Strong Families is a home for the 4 out of 5 people living in the US who do not live behind the picket fence—whose lives fall outside outdated notions of family, with a mom at home and a dad at work. While that life has never been the reality for most of our families, too many of the policies that affect us are based on this fantasy.  From a lack of affordable childcare and afterschool programs, to immigration policy and marriage equality, the way we make policy and allocate resources needs to catch up to the way we live.

We see the trend of families defining themselves beyond the picket fence—across generation, race, gender, immigration status, and sexuality—as a powerful and promising development for the US, and we want to help policy makers catch up.

Our vision is that every family have the rights, recognition and resources it needs to thrive.  We are engaging hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals in our work to get there.

Time uses a picture of a young woman taking a selfie to demonstrate how fucked up our generation is

Why not use a picture of a 50 year old white male banker masturbating with mortgage papers into the mouth of a senator

In 2012, this intergenerational series ran for the first time and successfully sold out The Mission Cultural Center to a crowd full of beautifully fierce jotatistas. Last year, SQD also launched a paid 8 week creative writing workshop for youth led by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, published an anthology, and showcased a total of 22 local artists of color. All resources raised through this grassroots organized series go directly to paying artist stipends and developing independent arts education spaces for Queer/Questioning youth of color.

Please check out our 2012 anthology here!

A UC Irvine freshman received a note slipped under her dorm-room door Tuesday night that read, “Go back 2 Africa slave,” her mother has told a San Diego television station. A university spokeswoman later told ABC 10News the incident is now being investigated alongside the continuing probe into an Asian fraternity that posted a video online of students in blackface.

“It’s an indication that we have some work to do in helping our students and our entire campus community understand and value the differences we have,” Cathy Lawhon, a university spokeswoman, reportedly tells the station.

There is apparently no connection between the note under the door and the frat videos, although the mother of Charity Lyons claims an Asian person called her daughter “nigger” on campus last week.

Lawhorn would not comment on whether UCI has a race problem between Asians and African Americans, 10News reports. Stephanie Jones, Charity’s mother, apparently does not want her daughter, a track athlete who is attending UCI on an academic scholarship, to stick around long enough to see if relations improve, urging her to transfer.

“If they were brave enough to put that note there,” the mother tells the station, “who knows what extent they’ll go to next time?”

so the bolded…….is this the time when we talk about Asian antiblackness and how being a POC doesn’t keep non-Black POC from perpetuating this shit on a massive and ultimately global scale?

F this shit for real.
