Dear Friends and Family,
My organization, Queers for Economic Justice, is currently fighting to win a $5000 grant and WE NEED YOUR VOTE!
The Forum Project (TFP) and Queers for Economic Justice (QEJ)
are teaming up to develop a performance series with and by queer
shelter residents of New York City using Theatre of the Oppressed. A
disproportionate number of New York City's homeless identify as queer,
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or gender-nonconforming, and yet
many face overwhelming discrimination, neglect and abuse at the hands
of the systems that claim to support homeless people. Queer homeless
need effective resources to combat the oppression that impacts their
lives. http://goodart.maker.good.is/projects/queerhomelessonstage
Our budgets are extremely lean, and so we really
need this grant to be able to launch this program and support this
underresourced community. And it's so easy to help.
- VOTE! We're in the top ten but we need to be #1 to win. Please take a moment to vote.
- SHARE! Please post the following on your Facebook page or Twitter!
Please VOTE NOW to help give $5000 to launch this program to develop theatre by homeless people in NYC! http://goodart.maker.good.is/projects/queerhomelessonstage
- FORWARD! Please send this blog to your colleagues, friends and family to spread the word.
Love,
Brandon and the QEJ and Forum Project Family!
