SAYFTEE’s monthly giving program

MAY SPOTLIGHT
Boston Dyke March

“Since 1995, the Boston Dyke March has remained committed to offering a non-commercial, intersectional, and fundamentally grassroots alternative to Boston’s Pride celebration. We strive to elevate voices marginalized in society and even within the lgbtq+ community.

The Dyke March tradition began with a 1993 demonstration by the Washington, DC Lesbian Avengers, and soon after independent Dyke Marches sprung up across the country. We are not merely a celebration, we are speaking up and fighting back to demand a better society.

Our top priority is to provide a dynamic and welcoming space for participants of all sexualities, genders, races, ages, ethnicities, sizes, economic backgrounds, and physical abilities. We strive to create a place where political and social change can be expressed and inspired.”


About SAYFTEE Cares:

We are living through a pretty historic moment right now, and it’s provoking a range of feelings and reactions for each of us. Here at SAYFTEE, we are keenly attuned to how the ongoing trauma and impact of current events - including (but certainly not limited to) the pandemic, protests, indiscriminate acts of violence against Black individuals & communities, and the political environment - further burdens those among us who are the most targeted by systems of oppression.

With this in mind, we want to remember that power is strengthened through forging connections, fostering collaboration, and tending community. We feel strongly that it is our responsibility to amplify the voices of those who are marginalized, especially those of Black queer and trans folks, and provide them with the support they deserve.

SAYFTEE Cares is our commitment to highlight and support organizations that align with our values of social justice and community throughout the year.  Under the banner of SAYFTEE Cares, we are embarking on a monthly initiative where in we will make a donation to an organization or cause that aligns with SAYFTEE’s overarching mission.
