Saturday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 5 pm: Community Law Workshop at Salisbury Pride
The Campaign for Southern Equality will offer free health care power of attorney clinics at Pride celebrations across North Carolina this summer with the Freedom Center for Social Justice’s LGBTQ Law Center in order to serve the LGBT community in North Carolina.
“The Campaign for Southern Equality is excited to offer this service free of charge at PRIDE events across North Carolina this summer and to partner with the LGBTQ Center. No LGBT person should be without a Health Care Power of Attorney – it is critical to ensuring that a person’s medical choices are honored. As we push for full equality under the law, the need for documents like a Health Care Power of Attorney is a reminder that LGBT people in North Carolina are second-class citizens under the law,” said Rev. Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, executive director of the Campaign for Southern Equality.
