2020 BENEFICIARIES - COVID

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.
