Twin Tiers Pride Monthly Meetin November 13, 2007

The monthly meeting for Twin Tiers Pride . All welcome!

ABOUT TWIN TIERS PRIDE:

Twin Tiers Pride – The GLBT-Straight Alliance of the Twin Tiers is committed to improving society and impacting public policies through citizen education and advocacy in regards to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities and their supporters.

Twin Tiers Pride is a grassroots organization, depending on its members.

Twin Tiers Pride is primarily an alliance and support group and not routinely political in nature; however we realize that many of the issues surrounding the GLBT community of the Twin Tiers are political in nature and as such, we will endorse candidates at local, state and federal levels who show outward and vocal support of the GLBT community.

Over time, Twin Tiers Pride’s priorities will change to reflect the needs of society and critical issues of concern to the GLBT community and its supporters. The organization will remain true to its basic purpose: to make a better society for all citizens, regardless of social stigmatizations.

Twin Tiers Pride will make a difference in the lives of all citizens because of the energy and passion of members committed to its principles.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

 To inform the general public of the Twin Tiers of issues of importance to members of the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered community and our supporters (herein also referred to as the GLBT community)through education, outreach, information access and support
