In this fifth, and final, special bonus episode of our Pride Month series, we speak with Lauren Albrecht, director of advocacy and organizing, and Layla Orlando, director of health equity and wellness, at Garden State Equality, the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus advocacy organization in New Jersey.
Welcome to the final episode in our special Pride Month series. In this special edition of Managed Care Cast, we speak with Lauren Albrecht, director of advocacy and organizing, and Layla Orlando, director of health equity and wellness, at Garden State Equality, first founded in 2004 and which has grown to become the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus (LGBTQ+) advocacy organization in New Jersey, at more than 150,000 members.
Racial, economic, and disability justice concerns underpin this advocacy and civil rights organization’s mission to bring full equality to all members of all LGBTQ+ communities in the state. We discuss state- and federal-level legislation, with potential implications on not only LGBTQ+ rights in the state, but reproductive freedom as well; notable achievements for the LGBTQ+ community in New Jersey; and, as with our previous episodes in this limited-edition series, health care policy in this election year.
Please check out our previous episodes with Lancaster Pride, Rutgers, Callen-Lorde, and We Are Family.
