Poly in Public: A Media Training forPeople with Stories of DiscriminationFounded by Harvard Law School LGBTQ+ Advocacy Clinic and the Chosen Family Law Center, the Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition is made up of long-time advocates for the rights of polyamorous communities who are supporting the passage of laws in various states to recognize polyamorous families.We are seeking polyamorous people to speak to news and media publications about their personal experiences to fight for change.Particularly, we are looking for people who can share stories about:· Health insurance coverage & health care access- inability to cover more than one partner· Housing discrimination· Hospital visitation issues with more than one partner· Employment discrimination· Child custody challenges· Any other challenges with lack of recognition of more than one partnershipJoin us for a free workshop Friday February 26th from 12:00 - 1:30 pm EST, where you can learn more about our work and have help thinking through how and if you want to share your story. It's most helpful to hear stories from people who would be comfortable sharing their names and faces if possible, but we are also open to hearing from those who wish to remain anonymous. Here's a helpful article by Executive Director of Chosen Family Law Center Diana Adams on how to decide whether it's safe for you to come out publicly as poly.If have a story to share and/or want to RSVP to learn more, please email contact@chosenfamilylawcenter.org with 'Poly Media' in the subject line.Diana Adams, Esq., Executive DirectorChosen Family Law Center, Inc.
