The LGBTQ+ business resource group at Mercedes-Benz USA recently held their ‘Prism of Possibilities’ event at their new Sandy Springs headquarters. The event brought together local LGBTQ+ and ally professionals from Coca-Cola, Cox Enterprises, Home Depot, UPS, Accenture, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, AT&T, KPMG, VMWare, and other companies to meet and discuss working together to shape inclusive futures for their employees and communities.
The event included presentations from Georgia Equality, Lost & Found Youth, HRC Atlanta, The Gentlemen’s Foundation, I Am Midtown, and the Mayor’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Our Development and Communications Associate, Percy Brown (pictured), presented a snapshot of Georgia’s current fight for LGBTQ equality and how to get involved locally.
Also last month, HIV Policy Organizer Eric Paulk was out-and-about at several events locally as well as around the country. Eric presented at this year’s United States Conference on AIDS in Orlando about the need to decriminalize the lives of people living with HIV and end mass incarceration. He also spoke on behalf of Georgia Equality at the Stacey Abrams for Governor event during Atlanta Black Pride Weekend!
