Basic Rights Oregon executive director Jeana Frazzini reports that the group exceed ed its fundraising goal of $10,000 and instead reached $15,000 in 10 days, ending on April 12. The fundraiser was run in conjunction with a major statewide educational advertis ing campaign on television to spread the message of marriage equality in Oregon. By reaching the goal of $10,000, a matching do nation was made to BRO from a generous donor, bringing the total raised to $25,000. The ads for Marriage Matters Oregon will continue to air through Monday, April 18. “We’ve been getting a terrific response and have seen a real surge in community involve ment and conversation about why marriage matters,” says Frazzini. “I want to encourage everyone to keep talking—it really is making a difference.” To that effect, BRO leads the charge into the 18,h Annual Oregonians Against Dis crimination Business Leaders Luncheon Thursday, April 21 at the Oregon Convention Center (777 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The summit brings Oregon business leaders together to learn how protecting LG BTQ_ families can lead to a stronger state. Governor John Kit zhaber serves as keynote speaker. (Read more about the event on p. 10.) Later on April 21, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Pivot (209 SW Fourth Ave.) hosts a public discussion concerning marriage equality in 2012 as pursued by BRO. In other branches of BRO’s equality advo cacy, the organization’s Trans Justice Working Group is nearing the end of its health care story collecting. BRO has been collecting stories from transgender, genderqueer and gender non-conforming people who have experienced health care discrimination. Trans people routinely experience denial of cover age for transition-related care, denial of gen der-specific care and are treated by a provider who is not trained to work with trans people. “Access to health care is an urgent issue for trans communities,” says BRO Trans Justice organizer Tash Shatz. “When trans people have the health care we need, our access to jobs, housing and other resources greatly in creases. Our story collection campaign is lay ing the foundation with decision makers, business leaders and community members to support trans-inclusive health care.”
