The spirit of doubt may try to overwhelm us, but we will stand strong and work tirelessly with our state legislators to ensure our protections and empower us to live with resilience.

Statement from the Desk of Zahara Bassett, CEO of Life Is Work Today, I am reaching out to you not just as the CEO of Life Is Work but as a member of a community that has long fought for dignity, equality, and justice. The recent executive order from President Donald Trump has left me personally feeling a profound sense of defeat. In one moment, with the swift stroke of a pen, it feels as though the countless hours, sacrifices, and hard-won victories in advancing trans healthcare, employment protections, housing equity, and workforce development are under threat of being erased.

We are thrilled to announce the first of our 2025 Human First Gala: A Celebration of Community awardees! Please join us in celebrating Zahara Bassett (she/her), the visionary founder and CEO of Life Is Work, as our Human First Awardee. Zahara has dedicated her life to empowering individuals and transforming work culture, ensuring that people are at the heart of every organization. Her unwavering commitment to creating inclusive, human-centered workplaces makes her a true leader in fostering thriving communities. We are beyond excited to honor her incredible impact and leadership at our gala. Stay tuned for more awardee announcements, and mark your calendars for a night of celebration!
