Callen Lorde provides compassionate, affordable healthcare to underserved LGBT folks in NYC. On a more personal note they were instrumental in my wife and I starting our family. Living Traditions is the non-profit home for Jalopy Theatre & School of Music, a local community hub for people who love old-time country, blues, jazz, and more. I have taken many a class and made life-long friends here. Thorn defends children from sexual abuse on the internet. Earthjustice is committed to fighting climate change, a deep concern. Violence Policy Center works to hold the gun industry accountable for the health and safety impact of their products as well as working to reduce domestic violence. And finally the Red Hook Initiative is an organization that does amazing work with youth in my local community.
