                <text>"Spiritually devastated" and even rendered suicidal by her partners' death, Dr. Perry bemoans how they were not legally allowed to marry before her partner transitioned. This loss and other experiences of the couple being denied access to sacred space motivated Perry to displace her former reliance on political ideology with a new dependence on her former religious training. With this renewed spiritual approach to social justice, Perry strove to found an organization called the LGBT Faith Leaders of African Descent. This form of social justice organizing allowed Perry to create a safe, sacred space for LGBTQ people.</text>

              <text>Sister Prema Chowallur belongs to the Catholic order known as Sisters of the Cross. She conceptualized, organized, and set up on July 2, 2021, The Rainbow Home of Seven Sisters (RHoSS), a TRUST registered (no. 2228) in Northeast India to serve members of the Hijra/Kinnar community, as well as their daughters and sons. RHoSS specifically strives to protect the transgender women and children, and the non-transgender children of transgender women. In particular, RHoSS offers shelter and guidance to accommodate these vulnerable women and children who either have survived or otherwise would fall victims of human trafficking. RHoSS shields the children of its community by using the available child protection legislation to gain protective custody over them, which enables these children to pursue higher education after RHoSS places them in school, “instead of leaving them on the platforms of railway stations,” as Sister Prema explains. &#13;
&#13;
Sister Prema did the footwork to gain the trust and consent of the principalities and facilitated the collection of funding from the benefactors. It took some years to get the Archdiocese of Guwahati and local government on board and she lauds their cooperation. &#13;
As Sister Prema reports to AsiaNews, her work promotes the welfare of the LGBTQ community by providing a home for the homeless Trans people. This work is essential, she believes, because “They are ridiculed and humiliated, relegated on the margins of cities, forced into prostitution. Our goal is to remove them from the backyards of skyscrapers and from slums and restore their dignity.” &#13;
&#13;
Many homeless trans people come only for short stays but occasionally there is one or two who will stay a bit longer. While staying at the shelter, the residents give back to the land and to their new community by participating in the care and protection of Mother Earth. Thus, RHoSS is caring for hijra, children, and the earth - all the three voiceless sections of the society. Sister Prema hopes that her work with RHoSS will expand because it helps society to change its values for in her view, “Building skyscrapers, large malls or smart cities will not bring any glory or development until we agree to treat every person with humanity and love, beyond any gender distinction.</text>

&#13;
Over 60 people have siged up for 1975 membership so far, with&#13;
almost no prompting from the committee. Another 40 would make&#13;
it more feasible for us to pay the rent at our new place, when&#13;
we find one. Annual dues: $18, payable in up to three install-&#13;
ments, the last of which must be in by January 30 to qualify&#13;
for a vote in elections for the new board. A few members have&#13;
given us checks for $30, which was last year's dues figure,&#13;
and we accepted them gratefully. Get membership forms from&#13;
and give checks to Jeff Katz.</text>

              <text>Dear Mr. Lieber:&#13;
&#13;
We stood at the base of Mount Sinai as one Jewish people. We endured together at Auschwitz as one Jewish people. We rallied, fought, and won the land of Israel for all Jewish people as one Jewish people. Sadly, the concept of one Jewish people, which has sustained us through thousands of years, is in peril within the ranks of the West Side Jewish Community Council. Your project, the Jewish Peoplehood Fair, is being used as a staffing ground by a bigoted and vocal minority to divide rather than to unite. &#13;
&#13;
We of Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, New York's Gay Synagogue, sought in good faith and with the best motives to participate in the Fair, but our participation was blocked by a segment of the Council that believes one part of the Jewish community has the right to deny another part the full enjoyment of Jewish life. &#13;
&#13;
Although we stand firm in our position that we are well within our rights to demand participation in the fair, although numerous members of the council have backed us in this, although governmental agencies concerned with Human Rights have assured us that our participation cannot be denied us, the members, congregants, and friends of the Gay Synagogue of New York have chosen not to press for inclusion in the Fair at this time. Our decision stems, in part, from an awareness that we have become a focal point for infighting and intrigues that seem to be the order of the day at the West Side Jewish Community Council. Should we continue to press for our rights, and should serious division occur within the ranks of the Council, it is inevitable that gay Jews would be used as scapegoats to take the blame for all the troubles of the Council, just as all Jews have been used throughout history as scapegoats for the troubles of others. &#13;
&#13;
In spite of the injury that has been perpetrated upon us because of this matter, the larger issue of human rights and dignity for all Jewish people remains our uppermost concern. We choose to take the lead in easing above petty prejudice and squabbles. Therefore, we have come to our decision for Shalom Bayis, and for our deep commitment to the principles of Am Israel, One Jewish People. But, let it be noted, we are withdrawing our application only for the 1982 Fair. &#13;
&#13;
We hope that those in the Council who have the true feeling of community in their hearts and minds can comprehend the sadness and bitterness within our congregation. Be assured that we will continue to strive toward the day when the term "One Jewish People" can be more to us than an empty slogan. &#13;
