We're Moving!
This June marks the 39th anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion in 1969 - a historic event in which people from across the LGBT spectrum stood together against unfair harassment by police and added fuel to the movement for LGBT equality. As we celebrate the advances we've won since

then and get inspired to continue our work, the Mautner Project remembers that social and political inequality contribute greatly to health inequalities as well. They create stress in our lives and numerous barriers to quality health care. Social justice and health are inextricably linked - so have pride, and take care of your health!

If you're in the DC area, come see us at the following Pride events this weekend:

• Dyke March, Saturday, June 14, 2 pm, Dupont Circle
• Capital Pride Parade, Saturday, June 14th, 6:30 pm, Dupont and Logan Circles
• Capital Pride Festival, Sunday, June 15th, 11 am - 6 pm, Pennsylvania Ave. between 3rd & 7th Streets, NW

Thank You, Susan G. Komen for the Cure!
Mautner Project has received a substantial two-year capacity-building grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This grant will allow us to sustain and build our programs, including expanded capacity for our direct services for clients in DC and

their families, as well as to improve our education and communication efforts by upgrading our website, and improving our database systems. We are gratified by the confidence Susan G. Komen for the Cure has expressed in our organization, and by its understanding of the need for specific programming for lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women.
