As you know, GET DOWN is a supporter of the LGBT Community. In addition, we often talk about how lower socio-economic status is a barrier, not only to good health care, but oftentimes education as well. When an opportunity arises to spread the word about economic empowerment in the LGBT Community, especially communities of color, we could not resist sharing with everyone who reads this. Many Faces. One Dream. LGBT Economic Empowerment Tour for Communities of Color will be taking place in New York City on Novmeber 20-21st, 2013. Because upliftment of a community is the upliftment of the ENTIRE community as a whole. So, no matter how you GET DOWN, be economically empowered also! And, as always, GET TESTED and KNOW YOUR STATUS.
