"We GLBT people are the canaries in the civil rights coal mine. The health of our civil rights determines the health of civil rights in our democracy in general, and right now we are swaying from the efforts of a decade of poisonous attacks on them." - Monica Roberts

We are so excited to share that we’re kicking off the search for two new positions that are critical to our success. We are hiring both an Operations Director and a Development Director to fuel our growth and maintain our stride.

Since we know that our personal networks can lead to candidates that a regular job posting may not reach, we are hoping that you will check this out and share with your network of awesome people, too.

Join AJC on Oct. 9th and 10th at 6:30pm for a driv

Join AJC on Oct. 9th and 10th at 6:30pm for a drive thru screening of Good Trouble at the Community First Village. There are 32 spots each night for cars, but you can bring the whole family!

An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

There will be snacks and concessions available.

”Blessings of ancestors are greater than those of living human beings.”

Our ancestors make great things happen for us daily and often times we forget to honor them with the praise they deserve. The recent vandalism of Evergreen is sickening, and it’s our duty to protect these sacred spaces. So let’s connect with those who have gone before us and #celebratelife.

Join us alongside Roslyn’s Novel, @blackaustincoalition , and Black Leaders Collective on Sunday, Sept. 27 at 3pm at Evergreen Cemetery. A day filled with live music, love, and life.
