Steps you need to take to ensure uninterrupted emails from us:

1) Change our email address from the old 'ethocare.org' address to the new address.

2) Make sure you add our new addresses to your computer's address book, that ensures that future messages from us will not appear in your junk mail folder.

 

We are still located at 555 Amory Street in Boston, we did not move our office, we simply got our own email domain (which was long overdue).

 

 

The LGBT Aging Project has is supporting new legislation which is sponsored by Representative Barbara L'Italien. This Bill would require the Executive Office of Elder Affairs to develop a curriculum for delivery of accessible and appropriate services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender elders and caregivers. The curriculum would focus on the prevention and elimination of discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression as well as on improving access to services to LGBT elders and caregivers.

 

We need your help to get your legislators to co-sponsor the bill. Take 5 minutes to click the link at the bottom of this article and get your legislators contact information. Ask your representative to contact Barbara L'Italien's office (617-722-2080) and ask them to co-sponsor this Bill addressing LGBT Elder Inclusion.

Did you know that the LGBT Aging Project is working with LA filmmaker, Stu Maddux ("Bob and Jack's 52 Year Adventure") on his next film "Gen Silent."  This latest film is about aging in the LGBT community. Stu has been traveling back and forth between LA and Boston since September. He has become quite a regular presence at both Cafe Emmanuel and "Out to Brunch" because he is featuring several folks from the meal sites in this film.
