We’ve been hard at work figuring out fundraising alternatives to support our local LGBTQ+ non profit beneficiaries. We’ve launched a new online way to help support our beneficiaries through donations! All donations will receive limited edition REAL BAD branded items.

In difficult times, we are all looking for ways that we can do more to help those in need around us. The Grass Roots Gay Rights Foundation continues to support organizations that create a happy, healthy, and connected Bay Area LGBTQ community and we hope you will join us. With donation, we are offering a Limited Edition REAL BAD Mask with 100% of profits benefiting our 2020 non-profit beneficiaries, including the timely COVID-related work of the AIDS Legal Referral Panel (ALRP) and APIENC. You'll also be supporting the California-based clothing company (Joah Love) and San Francisco-based artist (Mike at Against The Grain) who produced these masks for us. Special thanks to Dicky Krolewicz for designing our new REAL BAD clasp logo!

API Equality – Northern California is working against this global pandemic which has disproportionately impacted Asian people, elders, youth, HIV/AIDS positive people working-class people, and queer and transgender people. Due to xenophobic hate, dismal medical care, school closures, and social isolation, queer and transgender Asian and Pacific Islander (QTAPI) people need rapidly responsive social and material support systems.

AIDS Legal Referral Panel is supporting individuals living with HIV who are especially at risk because of COVID-19. They are working against the wave of evictions that will flow when courts are back in session and folks cannot pay their rent. In addition, they support their clients with other COVID related needs such as employment questions, credit issues, estate planning, and other legal issues.
