A group of concern citizens from our community are coming together to form a project called P.eople L.ike U.s a Coalition of Hawaiian Transgender, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Straight friends whose mission will be to change that image. Our goals will be to develop educational programs that will educate the TLGB Community as well as the boarder community about issues such as employment, housing, school programs, lifestyle, etc. that affect our Community. Besides developing educational programs, we will be looking at creating a plan to address the inequalities we share under the law. All are invited from our community to our initial meeting and assist in creating an organization that will be addressing our local issues. Anyone who has the desire, time and skills to give back and make positive change for our community and its future are needed and welcome. The first meeting for P.L.U. will be on January 22, 2000 from 7 to 9 p.m. at The Center (located at 2424 Beretania Street). If you need more information, you can call The Center at 951-7000 or Ken Miller at 263-9391.
