Playing For Change
Monday, February 27, 7:30 pm
Lincoln Theatre

Grammy Award-winning producer Mark Johnson traveled the world, recording and filming street musicians of different faiths, backgrounds, and ethnicities, and blended their contributions into one unified and moving performance. The final product aired as a documentary on PBS called Playing For Change: Peace Through Music, and a collection of musicians from the film came together for a live performance at the 2009 SXSW festival as the Playing for Change Band. The group's fervent delivery of blues, gospel, reggae and Afropop has led to an amazing run of sold out shows, moving audiences worldwide and earning their album, Playing for Change-Songs Around the World, a remarkable debut on Billboard's Top 10.

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transgender Youth Support Project

Training & technical assistance for providers and educators who support GLBT Youth. A program of Health Imperatives.

The GLBT Youth Support Project has developed a number of tools to help you create safety and support for GLBT youth and their families in your agency, school, or community. To access or obtain any of these resources click on the following link: GLBT Youth Support Project.

The GLBT Youth Support Project Mission: To ensure safe and supportive communities for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning (GLBTQ) youth. The GLBT Youth Support Project provides training and on-going support for educators and health and human service providers to assist them in implementing welcoming and appropriate programs, policies, and services for these young people and their families.

ItGetsBetterProject.com is a place where young people who are gay, lesbian, bi, or trans can see with their own eyes how love and happiness can be a reality in their future. It’s a place where LGBT adults can share the stories of their lives, and straight allies can add their names in solidarity and help spread our message of hope.

Take the Pledge: We are the kids who have been bullied for being gay, lesbian, bi or trans. We pledge to stay open and strong. We are also the friends, family members, teachers, mentors, and allies of anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit in, gay or straight. We pledge to talk to the kids in our lives to put an end to the hate, violence, and tragedy — and to offer advice on coping, strategies to make it better, and to remind kids that It Gets Better.

President Obama Joins the Project!
As part of the It Gets Better Project, President Obama shares his message of hope and support for LGBT youth who are struggling with being bullied.
