Kate

Hi, I'm Kate! I'm part of the equality in sports social justice group. Our goal is to help create and maintain a society where everyone can be an athlete. Even though I'm not an athlete myself, throughout this project I have learned that sports help keep you fit, raise focus, build teamwork skills, and (obviously) allow you to have fun. Everyone should be able to experience this, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or anything else.

Empowerment and Equality at the Women’s March

I went to the NYC women’s march with the LREI group. We went to the high school early and saw people making signs and knitting pussy hats. Even though we weren’t moving for most of the time, it was still a really important and fun experience.

Visiting NBA Offices

We went to the NBA offices on 5th avenue to interview Kaitlin Sloane and have a look at the workplace. The whole thing was about five floors, and every room was basketball themed.

Interview with Allison Grover

Allison Grover came to the school, and we asked her questions about what she does, her opinions on things like title 9 and transgender people in sports. We also asked what we could do to raise awareness about LGBTQ issues in sports.
