On Thursday April 17th, a major undertaking will take place by 13 organizations that are both run by and primarily serve LGBT people of color will be holding a political forum. The forum's co-sponsors cross racial and gender lines. We will have representation from the campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. All three Democratic candidates running for PA State Senate District 1, which encompasses Center City and South Philadelphia will speak to the audience. There will also be a special guest appearance by none other than Flashdance/The L Word sensation herself, Jessica Beals.

The co-sponosring organizations are really excited about this event as it will serve to both increase our visibility to our elected officials and also develop our capacity as people of color to have our issues be part of the political process by creating a space for ourselves. If you live in the Philly area, please attend this historical event.
