Georgia Equality

The Georgia Equality team is glad to be back home in Georgia after spending last week in Portland, Oregon for the annual Equality Federation Leadership Conference! We got to meet with other state-based partner organizations, connect with national partners and funders, and learn from one another to better serve our communities. Georgia Equality staff were also able to present at several sessions about our work– everything from independent expenditures, to funding partnerships, to creative programmatic work to serve LGBTQ+ Georgians. Thanks to all of our friends at the #EqFed24 for a great week and we can't wait for next summer to do it all again!

Georgia Equality is doing amazing work across the state. We are thrilled to honor them this year! https://lnkd.in/eCDwSNda

This week, we were proud to convene, alongside Elton John AIDS Foundation, an action planning meeting of 40 public health, equality, and advocacy leaders in Georgia to discuss how to expand access to HIV prevention services across the state. Our partners at Positive Impact Health Centers hosted the meeting, where we focused on expanding access to HIV prevention services and linkage to care through community pharmacies. Representatives from across the state discussed how to strengthen partnerships and effectively create an environment that expands and sustains HIV prevention services in pharmacies, including access to PrEP and PEP.  We look forward to continuing to collaborate with partners to accelerate efforts to meet the U.S. goal to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. #HIV #Pharmacists #EndtheHIVEpidemic

Over the last several months, you've heard from Georgia Equality that AIDS Walk Atlanta is matching every dollar raised for us through the end of October. Now, there is only ONE WEEK LEFT to double your donation and double your impact. We are currently at just over $15,000 raised towards our $20,000 goal. We have until October 31 to raise the remaining $4,000 in order for it to be eligible for matching from AIDS Walk Atlanta. This matching is so important because it would DOUBLE our fundraising total from $20,000 to $40,000– sustaining our work in the fight ahead for the foreseeable future. We know that attacks on LGBTQ rights will not be letting up anytime soon, which is why we can't either. With one week left to double your impact, please consider making a donation, NOW, to support Georgia Equality: https://lnkd.in/dAXR3rUm
