A community organizer for more than 20 years, St. James has been instrumental in changing discriminatory shelter policies and in the passage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/historic-ny-legislature-passes-gender-expression-non-discrimination-act-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n<p>After beginning her advocacy in the South, St. James came to New York City. But the city at the time was \u201cnot progressive,\u201d she said, and the start of her time there was very hard. When she began transitioning, she lost her job, and as a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/offers.cam4tracking.com\/aff_c?offer_id=125&#38;aff_id=2778&#38;source=gfcsb\">trans<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a>, there were no real opportunities to find another.<\/p>\n<p>St. James ultimately ended up living in shelters in New York. One day she seized an opportunity to join a bus to Washington, D.C. for an HIV-funding rally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn that bus, I met a lot of amazing people,\u201d St. James said. \u201cAnd I got this sense &#8212; wow, this is my community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>St. James became an outreach worker and advocate, involved in housing policy, but she grew increasingly frustrated by work being done. \u201cI\u2019d be in these groups that would be geared toward Black <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/offers.cam4tracking.com\/aff_c?offer_id=125&#38;aff_id=2778&#38;source=gfcsb\">trans<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a> [but] led by others.\u201d So St. James said, \u201cenough is enough\u201d and joined together with advocates to start NYTAG working in policy that is tailored to the communities it is supposed to serve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe beauty of policy is that it improves everyone\u2019s quality of life,\u201d St. James said. \u201cWhen it\u2019s done right, it means that everyone has a seat at the table. And it\u2019s also about equity &#8212; meaning that those who need the most get the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>St. James has also seen how policy done wrong can fail communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt any given meeting on the issues for the past 20 years, the data doesn\u2019t really change,\u201d she said. \u201cIt always shows Black and Brown bodies at the top of any disparity &#8212; suicide, homelessness, depression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also recognizes that this work <em>must <\/em>address the urgent needs of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolicy takes a long time but people have immediate needs,\u201d St. James said. \u201cWe need policy to address equity and inequity as it now stands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>St. James also wants to make sure we are not erasing the communities in most need of being uplifted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been in progressive spaces where people say \u2018we\u2019re all the same.\u2019 We all have beautiful colors and identities. Why erase that? We need to recognize the nuances of our diverse community.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>St. James\u2019 advice to young people looking to get involved is that \u201cyou are the subject matter expert in your own life. That\u2019s the reason you have a right to be at the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first got into advocacy, I started showing up, and little by little I learned the layout of the land,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut it all starts when you show up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, for St. James, it is imperative that we all <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a> out injustice. \u201cZora Neale Hurston wrote, \u2018If you are silent about your pain, they will kill you and say you enjoyed it.\u2019 That\u2019s why we all have a responsibility to speak up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/policy-for-equity-and-equality-the-leadership-of-kiara-st.-james?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss-feed\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.hrc.org\/blog\/policy-for-equity-and-equality-the-leadership-of-kiara-st.-james?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss-feed<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Policy for Equity and Equality: The Leadership of Kiara St. James For Kiara St. James, \u201cthe first act of resilience is to take a breath and acknowledge that we have a right to exist.\u201d She is the co-founder and executive director of the New York Transgender Advocacy Group, an organization that advocates for more inclusive &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gayfriendschat.com\/socialblog\/policy-for-equity-and-equality-the-leadership-of-kiara-st-james\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Policy for Equity and Equality: The Leadership of Kiara St. James<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2466,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[1005,32282,32281,32280],"class_list":["post-106940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-new-york-city","tag-nytag","tag-so-st","tag-zora-neale-hurston"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
