The group was the board and advisory committee for the Woodhull Freedom Foundation. Named after Victoria Woodhull, an early pioneer for women's equality and a champion for human sexuality. She is not often listed in the history books but she worked alongside Susan B. Anthony and even was nominated as a Presidential candidate long before women even had the right to vote.The foundation focuses on a simple and elegant premise, "sexual freedom is a basic human right". The nice thing about that mission statement is that people across the political spectrum can get behind it. The advisory board encompassed people of a wide variety of sexual orientations and political background. That is encouraging.
The direction we, and I say we because I am now on the advisory board, are taking the group is an exciting one. You can expect to here more specifics soon. Until then you can find more about the organization at Woodhullfoundation.org. You can also make a donation there as well to continue and expand the organizations work.
While you are at it, mark the date September 23 on your calendar. It will be the first "sexual Freedom Day", and we are planning several events to commemorate it. The date just happens to be Victoria Woodhull's birthday!

and then there was you, eh? It was OUR honor to work with YOU, Hardy! Your voice is an important one - as was the voice of every other person at that table. Each person brought the voices of others - those who weren't at the table - and together we made fantastic plans for the affirmation of sexual freedom as a fundamental human right.
We're so proud to have you with us on the Advisory Council - a group of dedicated individuals like yourself working to make sexual freedom as a fundamental human right a reality for everyone!
