ODDS AND ENDS Katrina Relief Trip Our good friend, Kelly Morrissy of Kelly Inc. is once again coordinating a trip through Katrina Relief and Waveland Citizens Fund to a hurricane ravaged area in Mississippi. Though Katrina struck over 3 years ago, the recovery is a long way from completed, and hurricane victims are still living in deplorable conditions. Kelly would like to invite all volunteers to join her in this noble effort. Details to follow. ---- Birth Certificate Problems in Illinois? Cole Thaler at Lambda Legal advises us that the ACLU, one of Lambda Legal’s ally organizations, is taking a fresh look at the Illinois Department of Public Health’s problematic policy for change of sex designation on birth certificates. They are asking for people who have been harmed by the policy to contact them. If interested, please contact Jodie Clagg at the ACLU via Jclagg@aclu.org. |
