I just switched screen from grayscale to color - I see chocolate candy corn, but what do I know. Actually the keynote speaker is the first black lesbian senator:
"Join us for a keynote conversation and Q&A with California senator Laphonza Butler. Butler is a lifelong advocate for women and working people and has been engaged with politics for decades, including her efforts as a labor organizer and president of SEIU Local 2015, representing nursing home and home-care workers; leadership of the SEIU CA State Council; work as a political strategist on state and national campaigns; and presidency of EMILYs List, the nation’s largest organization dedicated to electing women to public office. Appointed to the United States Senate in 2023, she is the first openly LGBTQ person to represent California in the Senate and the first Black lesbian to openly serve in Congress. Her priorities as senator “are fighting for the American worker, the fundamental freedoms of all people, and the future that our next generations deserve.”
So maybe colors reference race in some way? I looked up pride flags, it may be these three colors are the lesbian flag minus the white stripe, have no problem with that. The bottom stripe is either brown or purple; if the former, they may have changed original purple to brown. Works for me! I have no idea WHY there's a white stripe on original trans flag.
EDIT: Grants or stipends or fellowships (can't remember which it is) from the Radcliffe Institute are a real plum, I thought of applying for it a few times (it's for women) but didn't have sufficient academic cred. I'd love to apply after I get more of an Internet presence (in lieu of "posh" academic creds).

Formerly Women’s Coordinate College Institutes are a trip.
Click through the carefully worded event announcement, and there are the women and all the familiar slippery usages of “sex” and “gender.”
Radcliffe Institute reliably beams out engaging and informative content. They got their webinar game very together during the pandemic.
Is that flag related to the butch flag?

Could be; I don't really know. Just speculating myself.
The opacity of the announcement is part of why I shared it.
What do those flag colors mean? What is going on?
