VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT: MANDY CARTERadmin2022-03-31T19:12:20-04:00

THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

Mandy Carter

“What do we bring to the table for all of us that collectively has some impact on the next generation that’s coming up?”

Mandy Carter has formed connections among a range of issues: opposition to war and violence, support for social and economic justice for people of color, and equal rights for women, lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgender people. She works in grassroots campaigns and national coalitions, focused on the religious right’s anti-gay organizing in Black communities. A brilliant coalition builder, highly respected by people from diverse backgrounds. Her work has been essential to the inclusion of gay/lesbian issues as social justice issues in the United States.

Interviewed by Judy Waxman, January 2022
