| | Astraea | Thailand Convening |
 | | As part of Astraea's current strategic plan, we have examined ways to increase our impact on movement building, and enhance our support of the social justice work of Astraea grantees around the world. |
 | | Like Astraea, these groups recognize the broad diversity of LGBTI communities—with a number of grantees prioritizing work with those within LGBTI communities, who often have the least access to structural power (including women, Transgender people, poor people, sex workers, and people living with HIV/AIDS). |
 | | In addition, the experience of convening a four-day meeting with simultaneous interpretation for up to six languages at any given time (English, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Taiwanese, and Thai) was both challenging and exhilarating as we witnessed participants adapt to the limitations of all of our languages in expressing our lived experiences as LGBTI people. |
