It's Give Out Day-Send Some Cash To Your Fave Black LGBT Org

Today is Give Out Day, which is basically a one day blitz in which people in the LGBT community and our allies are urged to support your favorite local organizations or national ones doing grassroots work. 

I'm not just going to urge you to do so, I'm going to lead by example.  I received $51 from Mom for my birthday last Saturday, so I'm donating $10 of it to the National Black Justice Coalition.   I'm also going to be donating another $10 to Black Transmen, Inc.

Both these organizations do wonderful work in the community, but they can't live on grants alone.  They have to have people donate money to them from time to time to help fund their various programs and projects.  And as President Obama's last two presidential campaigns have shown, thousands and tens of thousands of people donating $5, $10, $20 or more can add up to a substantial sum quickly. 

The proceeds that NBJC raises today will go toward their Emerging Leaders program    They'll be the people we'll pass the torch to when it's time to keep the momentum of our human rights push moving in a forward direction.

If you value organizations like NBJC and think the work they do in terms of being the voice for Black LGBT America is valuable, then drop them some money
