PRIDE Season Campaign – Black LGBTQ+ Wellness
This PRIDE season, IN THE MEANTIME has launched a series of community billboards throughout South Los Angeles featuring a simple but powerful message:
“BLACK LGBTQ+ WELLNESS.”
Each billboard invites community members to connect with our homepage www.inthemeantimemen.org and explore an evolving directory of Black LGBTQ+ led wellness organizations serving Los Angeles County.
We have much to be proud of. Together, we continue to stand in formation, “Deeply Rooted” in our foundation of Service and Civility. Today, we celebrate our supporters and allies that stand alongside us. We are the world!
