The Queer Nonprofit Legal Referral Panel (QNLRP) is a joint project of TurnOut and BALIF. QNLRP seeks volunteer legal professionals to provide pro bono legal support to California LGBTQI-focused nonprofits and events. This is a great way to use your transactional legal skills and give back to the community!

Sign up today at www.turnout.org/QNLRP Email Jack Beck at jack@turnout.org with any questions or concerns.

We encourage all of you, whether current or lapsed member or friend, to consider donating to BALIF, joining BALIF, and/or renewing your BALIF membership! Like most nonprofits, BALIF has been financially impacted by the pandemic. Nevertheless, we have been able to put together extensive, timely, and unique programming for nearly every facet of our LGBTQI+ legal community, as detailed in our BALIF Year-End Review below. We also did all of this while extending free 2020-21 memberships to all BALIF members existing as of June 2020 as well as all new law student, recently graduated, and/or currently unemployed members. We will not be able to continue this great work without the engagement and financial support from members and friends like you. So please do consider donating at https://www.balif.org/donate and/or becoming a new member or renewing your existing membership at https://www.balif.org/membership!

The City of Berkeley is looking to create a community safety model that reflects the needs of the community, including for LGBTQIA+ and QTBIPOC community members. It is critical that the City know our concerns about policing and crisis response to mental health and substance use, as well as what health and safety programs and services are key to our community safety. Your participation in the survey will inform the City's strategy, decision making and funding, including for planning to restructure the City’s approach to violence prevention, crisis intervention, policing, and community safety. We want your honest feedback and perspective. Your survey responses are completely anonymous and confidential. You can skip any questions and end the survey at any time. Only Bright Research Group, a third-party outside research firm, will have access to the survey responses. Bright Research Group will summarize de-identified survey responses in a report to the City of Berkeley. People who live, work and/or study in Berkeley can participate.
