#OutLoud is a project inspired by #wearebeneficiaries, in response to the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction. Toni Duder from Rainbow Youth and Sam Orchard from We Are Beneficiaries are working together to share the stories and wishes of the queer, gender diverse, intersex, takatāpui, MVPFAFF or rainbow communities* around Aotearoa’s mental health and addiction services.
They’re encouraging people from LGBTIA/Rainbow communities to make submissions to the Government’s inquiry into mental health and addictions by using art to share stories.
They have enough funding to fund the initial set of stories, but they’d like to share more – so they’re doing a boosted campaign to help get as many voices heard.
I’d love it if you’d help either by:
- Contributing a story to the project: Submissions can be made via the #OutLoud submission form: https://form.jotform.com/81198644083968
- Sharing the project or fundraiser: You can find them on facebook, Instagram or twitter, and their fundraising page is on boosted.
- Donating to the project: for every $50 raised they’ll be able to pay a koha (donation) to a local artist to bring one of the submissions to life via art. https://www.boosted.org.nz/projects/outloud (the video is super cute)
