Latino Equality Alliance

Good morning, 

My name is Kathy Lopez and I am a school counselor for Kipp Corazon Upper in Southgate, CA. My administration is looking for a training to provide to our parents as well as our staff. I wanted to see if this is something your organization does. I look forward to hearing from you.

I would like some help from Latino activist/support groups to start a movement here in LA in regards to the sexual harassment and murder of VANESSA GUILLEN at Ft Hood Army base in Texas. If you guys cant help me i would appreciate it if you could please point me into the right direction, thank you!

I was hoping to reach out to speak to someone from Latino Equality Alliance about a call for research participants on your organization. I am the principal investigator of a study of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, pansexual, and otherwise non-heterosexual (LGBQ+) individuals’ experiences in therapy. The aim of this study (“Development of the Sexual Minority Affirmative Practice Scale”) is to develop a measure that assesses LGBQ+/sexual minority therapy clients’ perceptions of the extent to which their clinicians provided LGBQ-affirming services. Ultimately, it is my hope that the results of this study will help facilitate improved training for future clinicians and thus improved mental health services for LGBQ+ individuals. This project was approved by the Arizona State University’s IRB, and is being supervised by Frank Dillon, Ph.D.


This study is anonymous, takes 15-20 minutes, and those who complete the study have the choice to enter a drawing for a $95 Amazon.com gift card as compensation for their time. To participate in this anonymous study, one must be a) an adult age 18+, b) identify as LGBQ+, and c) have participated in at least one therapy/counseling session (including group counseling) within the past 12 months.


Would it be possible for Latino Equality Alliance to help spread the word about this study or direct me to a more appropriate venue? The online survey can be found at: https://asu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cAtMOjhrs7q29al


I would be happy to provide any other information or documentation you may require.


Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information,


Thank you!

Hello, I would like to talk about a possible fund raising opportunity.

Hello, I am a senior at a High School in the suburbs of Chicago and for my English class we had to research an immigrant community. My group and I decided to research the LGBTQ LatinX immigrants and we saw that your organization is all about helping the Latino LGBTQ community. We were wondering if we could maybe set up an interview to ask a few questions, this interview could be over email or over an online call. Thank you for your time and I hope all is well!

Hello! My name is Lisa and I work at The Laurel Foundation, we empower youth and families affected by HIV/AIDS and transgender/gender diverse youth. I am reaching out to connect with you all to see if there is any way we can post volunteer flyers to recruit for our summer camp programs. Please let me know who I can talk to!

I am reaching out to you on behalf of CALS High School in Eagle Rock. We are hosting an event on Wednesday, March 25th from 5:00-7:00pm where students and families will be of attendance. We would like to invite you to come table at this event to get our campus familiar with your services. Please let me know if this is a possibility, along with any and all questions!

Hello,


My name is Josselyn Perez, I am the volunteer coordinator with InnerCity Struggle. We are currently in our last month for our Schools and Communities First campaign. We have several volunteer days, where we host the community to take action in trying to qualify Schools and Communities First! It’s very important for us because it will help us reclaim $12 billion dollars that haven’t been going to our communities. We are trying to eliminate a loophole that currently exists. By eliminating that loophole it will help benefit our public schools as well as community resources (e.g. community colleges, libraries, clinics, etc.).


The available dates are:

Thurs. February 27th (5pm-7pm)

Sat. February

Thur. March 5th (5 pm-7 pm),

Sat. March 7th (9 am-2 pm),

Thurs. March 12 (5 pm – 7 pm) and

Sat. March 14th (9 am-2 pm)


So, we are asking for other organizations if they are willing to come down and be part of the movement to reclaim those $12 billion. Let me know if you are able to commit to bringing members down! You may contact me at [email protected]

Hi. I am wondering if you ever need mentors for the youth. Muchas Gracias!

I am an undergraduate student in the BS Sociology program seeking to interview one or more Employees who are available for interview who work directly with clients for a senior thesis for University of La Verne.


The research topic: : Examining the heightened mental health risks associated with parental and peer rejection of LGBTQ compared to the heterosexual community. Heightened risks include symptoms such as higher rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, isolation, fear of rejection from peers, drug use as a method of coping, internalized homophobia etc.


In addition no personal names or cases will be discussed this is a general interview for overall trends in clients cases etc. If anyone is willing to participate there is more information I can give as well as a consent form with measures I will take to keep confidentiality in anything we discuss approved by my schools IRB board.


Thank you in advance,


Anthony Villalobos

Peace!


I hope this email finds you all well! My name is Carmen and I’m reaching out on behalf of the Mar Vista Music & Art Walk. We’re looking for sponsors and partners for our upcoming LGBTQ+ music and arts festival on Saturday, September 14.


This particular art walk is being put together on behalf of our fallen community member, Blaze Bernstein. Blaze M. Bernstein, a brilliant 19 year old cut down in an Orange County hate crime. Blaze’s family are longtime Mar Vista neighbors and huge patrons of local art, so to put these two spirits together is the best way to celebrate pride and power in identity.
