| Comfort food with a dash of politics. An intergenerational gathering of LGBT folks and allies, coming together to celebrate and act. An innovation in the LGBT movement to respond quickly to time-sensitive events like Prop 8. Easy for anyone to replicate in any community on a shoestring budget. |
|
Equality Corps makes it quick and easy to act on numerous campaigns to achieve full equality for LGBT individuals. But we also offer something unique: strategic analysis of each action, and new strategies and rhetoric based on a human rights framework. |
| All of TPP's work is grounded in its core values and in the ethic of Empathic Authenticity, which consists of three ideals: (1) the individual honors the full humanity of those he interacts with; (2) the individual expresses his authentic self; and (3) the community mediates the risk of such exposure by offering support as part of every action. |

The Progressive Project is a movement to guarantee equality for all citizens and to establish America as a global leader that promotes human rights, sustainability and peace around the world. TPP connects people to political and public life, acting as a bridge between communities and action.
NEWS
TPP has endorsed the federal challenge against Prop 8, a claim that has been filed by lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies. We are excited to lend TPP's support to this bold, winnable lawsuit and we believe that it has the capacity to advance equality in all 50 states.
For those in the Bay Area, we hope you'll join the TPP/SF crew on July 2nd to watch the court hearings in the federal injunction against Prop 8 and then gather afterwards to toast and debrief at Lush Lounge on Polk & Post Streets.
