On October 23, 2020, Equal Footing LLC and Transformation Journeys Worldwide along with Georgia Equality and Lambda Legal, hosted the third of a 3-part series focusing on laws and policies currently impacting companies, your LGBTQ+ employees (and their families) and our communities.

This session, sponsored by Mercedes-Benz USA, focused on employer’s roles in creating supportive communities for LGBTQ+ youth with emphasis on schools/sports, homelessness, foster care, and healthcare. 

Our Deputy Director, Eric Paulk, discussed the effect of homelessness on youth and youth living with HIV, and how fostering a stronger LGBTQ+ friendly work culture could allow LGBTQ+ parents and parents of LGBTQ+ youth access to more resources, including healthcare.
