(Community Matters) Wow, talk about being conflicted. I’m wrecked I won’t be here this weekend to participate in the Mamma Jamma Ride Against Breast Cancer. Already over 500 registered riders who’ve raised $441k for breast cancer services in Central Texas. I’m extraordinarily proud of our friend Jan Hill who first imagined this ride and very proud that the Entrepreneurs Foundation helped make it happen. We facilitated the collaboration which created the ride (plus lots of other cool things), and we’re a shareholder in the ride – our portion of the proceeds will be granted competitively for breast cancer services & education.
And, while sad to be missing Mamma Jamma, Steven and I are excited about our trip to Washington DC to participate in the National Equality March (LGBT equality).
I believe we’ll hear at least a couple of very cool annoucements from the White House and the president between now and Sunday’s march. Understandably, my LGBT brothers and sisters are impatient and want equality today. Heck, so do I. And, the President has had a few global, spiraling crises on his plate. Nevertheless, it is UNCONSCIONABLE that LGBT people are denied many of the rights of our democracy. . . . good things happening, and absolutely, we demand more now.
