Griot Circle — New York, NY
www.griotcircle.org
GRIOT Circle is an intergenerational and culturally diverse community based organization dedicated to enriching the lives of older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons, especially Elders of color. It is our mission to maintain a safe space for these Elders, alleviate their feelings of isolation and fear, and construct programs and support systems designed to affirm their lives and encourage self-empowerment. We provide quality services that honor and preserve our histories and traditions, and reunite those parts of ourselves that have been fragmented by racism, sexism, ageism, and homophobia. While our policies are inclusive, and all are welcome, GRIOT is particularly designed for the specific cultural and social needs of LGBT Elders of color. (JHC)

SONG (Southerners on New Ground) believes all our identities, issues and lives are connected across race, class, culture, gender, and sexuality. SONG is a membership-based, Southern regional organization made up of the working class, people of color, immigrants, and rural LGBTQ people.

Sylvia Rivera Law Project — New York, NY
www.srlp.org
The Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP) works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence. SRLP is a collective organization founded on the understanding that gender self-determination is inextricably intertwined with racial, social, and economic justice. Therefore, we seek to increase the political voice and visibility of low-income people of color who are transgender, intersex, or gender non-conforming. SRLP works to improve access to respectful and affirming social, health, and legal services for our communities. We believe that in order to create meaningful political participation and leadership, we must have access to basic means of survival and safety from violence. (JB)
