Communities of API Equality – Northern California,

We’re excited to announce that during May, API Equality – Northern California (APIENC) will be kicking off a month-long fundraising campaign: POW! Power Our Work: Building LGBTQ API Leadership. In 2015, API Equality – Northern California’s leadership development work relied 62% from individual donors . . . such as community members like you! This year, our goal is to raise at least $25,000 for the campaign.

As we welcome our 7th cohort of summer interns and kicks off the 2nd year of the API Queer Justice Leadership Exchange (LEX), these funds will go towards our work of inspiring and training leaders, establishing intergenerational connections, and documenting and disseminating LGBTQ API histories.

We have 18 League of Team APIENC volunteer fundraisers committed to building LGBTQ API power. With our powers combined, our team’s goal is to raise $10,000 by May 26th to support API Equality – Northern California’s leadership development program! We know the community is full of abundance and beyond.
