The P.E.R.S.O.N. Project utilizes proactive
strategies to improve the treatment of LGBT persons in K-12
educational systems. Advocates for The P.E.R.S.O.N. Project
provide testimony before state and local boards of education, meet
with educational policy makers at all levels of government, inform
the public about educational equity issues, and furnish various
resources for addressing these subjects in the classroom. We call
for an end to the censorship of information about our communities
in textbooks, course content, resource materials, and library
offerings associated with public education.

National Pride At
Work is affiliated as the newest constituency group of the AFL-CIO
(American Federation of Labor & Congress of Industrial Organizations).
The purpose of Pride
At Work is to mobilize mutual support between the organized Labor Movement
and the LGBT Community around organizing for social and economic justice.
We see full equality
for LGBT Workers in their workplaces and unions.
We work towards
creating a Labor Movement that cherishes diversity, encourages openness,
and ensures safety & dignity.
We aim to educate
the LBGT Community about the benefits of union membership for LGBT working
people, and to build support and solidarity for the union movement in the
LGBT community.
We intend to do this
in the spirit of the union movement's historic motto, "An Injury to
One is An Injury to All." We oppose all forms of discrimination on
the job and in our unions based on sex, gender identity, sexual
orientation, race, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, religion or
political views.

Project
YES is an educational organization whose goal is to ensure the healthy
development of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender and all youth.
Accomplishing this goal requires that the community recognize and openly
address the risks and difficulties affecting these youth. Project YES
works within the traditional networks of support for youth: families,
communities of faith, schools, youth service agencies, and peer groups. We
strengthen these networks and serve as a catalyst to initiate new
services. Project YES offers these networks an open forum, often for the
first time, to discuss and explore the needs of these youth. We are driven
to develop solutions that include all youth and families.
