Based in Chicago, Gender Justice United for Societal Transformation (Gender JUST) is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, and multi-generational grassroots organization of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Allied (LGBTQA) young people, LGBTQA people of color, and LGBTQA grassroots folks developing leadership and building power through organizing. ========================================= As the struggle for racial justice, economic justice, and gender justice are intricately connected, Gender JUST believes that you cannot fight against sexual and gender oppression without fighting against racism and poverty. Because of this, it is especialy important to Gender JUST to fight against racism, classism, sexism, ageism, and able-bodyism within LGBTQA communities.

Project FOCUS, founded in 2006, is a grass-roots initiative of artists, writers, activists, young professionals, and students bound by a common purpose: to educate, inspire, and empower local communities in Southwestern Uganda and the United States. Our work in Uganda extends beyond material support and touches upon the human need to share and reflect on personal experiences with others. Through creative collaboration, personal narratives and exhibition, we hope to support community-initiated programs, actively combat social apathy, and reveal the common humanity within two seemingly different worlds.
