Research, Resources and Updates
-
When religion can be used as a weapon to limit the rights of women, young people, and LGBT Americans, or when religious minorities come under attack, true religious liberty is at stake. This issue brief from the Center of American Progress details the challenges to the true notion of religious freedom posed by overly broad and discriminatory versions of religious liberty, as well as the rise of anti-Muslim bigotry.
-
Gathered from Arabella Advisors' own experiences with grant making as well as research posted from the D5 Coalition, these re
commendations reflect on how grant makers can more deeply incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion in their grant making processes.
-
This report from Movement Advancement Project (MAP) focuses on the "invisible majority" of the LGBT community, the nearly five million adults in the U.S. who identify as bisexual and the millions more who have sexual or romantic attraction to or contact with people of more than one gender.
-
The National Institute of Health announced the formal designation of sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) as a health disparity population for NIH research. The term SGM encompasses lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations, as well as those whose sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, or reproductive development varies from traditional, societal, cultural, or physiological norms.
