When the pandemic hit, we knew the impact on Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and especially LGBTQ+ people would be devastating. Historically, the LGBTQ+ community experiences higher rates of discrimination and health inequities; therefore, it was no surprise that they were likely to experience greater health impacts from COVID-19. We acted quickly to mobilize our statewide team and community partners on the ground around the state. With the support of the AT&T Foundation and Sempra Energy Foundation, we launched the COVID-19 LGBTQ+ Health Center and Helpline to connect LGBTQ+ Californians with LGBTQ+ friendly resources and support services. In addition, we advocated f or new emergency regulations t hat required healthcare providers and local health departments to collect and report voluntary data on patient gender identity and sexual orientation to understand the impact on the LGBTQ+ community. Our health advocacy efforts included: Developing a statewide directory of nearest testing centers and food banks Curating a list of gender-affirming mental health professionals Hosting live, online discussions with LGBTQ+ leaders and health experts about the need to get vaccinated, including one in Spanish Conducting an eight-month statewide bilingual campaign in partnership with the California Department of Social Services and The Center at Sierra Health Foundation Subgranting $250,000 to 20 LGBTQ+ organizations to sustain them financially during the pandemic, and an additional $84,000 to 12 LGBTQ+ groups and programs to bolster their vaccination outreach to the community Sending peer-to-peer text messages to 273,000 Equality California members, urging them to get vaccinated LGBTQ+ COVID-19 Vaccine Town Hall View this Town Hall COVID-19 Webinars In efforts to provide the LGBTQ+ community and our allies with the tools and training they needed during the pandemic. we’ve developed a series of webinars on topics ranging from unemployment benefits, job applications, healthcare and more.
