The fight for equality is far from over, and the time to raise our voices is now. As Election Day approaches, critical issues are on the ballot, and your participation is more important than ever.
BC Voices and Lush Cosmetics are teaming up for a special in-store event this Saturday, October 26 at Lush Upper West Side. This is a chance to learn about the history of women’s fight for equality, explore what’s at stake in this election, and discover how you can get involved in shaping the future of women’s rights.
Proposition 1, a key amendment to the state constitution, is on the ballot. This amendment would protect against discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity, while also safeguarding reproductive freedoms. Understanding this proposition and other critical issues is essential before we cast our votes.
Stand UP, Speak OUT at Barnard Women in Entertainment
Published:February 5, 2025
On October 29th, BC Voices participated in a panel discussion, Hear Me Roar: Making Movies that Matter, sponsored by Barnard Women in Entertainment (BWE).
Katherine Brewster, President and Director of BC Voices, and our Stand UP, Speak OUT director and producer, Elisabeth Harris, spoke with BWE Board Member and documentary production attorney, Cathy Perifimos, about channeling their passion for social justice into making documentaries. They’ll cover the ins and outs of making short documentaries – funding, producing, post-producing, marketing, distributing, and everything in between!
Thank you for helping to make these films possible.
Sincerely,

Experienced filmmakers commended our selection of archival clips spotlighting little-known women who championed the rights of women of color. Festival viewers told us they were surprised by how much they didn’t know about the history of reproductive rights. Viewing our film strengthened their determination to vote for candidates who support women’s rights in this election season.
We invite you to join them by watching the film on our website and making a donation to BC Voices so we can continue our important work.
