According to a release, the Levi Strauss Foundation is providing this support for efforts to achieve full and equal access to civil and human rights for all.
NCLR was the lead counsel on the effort to overturn Proposition 8 in the California Supreme Court. NCLR is a non-profit, public interest law firm which litigates precedent-setting cases at the trial and appellate court levels; advocates for equitable public policies affecting the LGBT community; provides free legal assistance to LGBT people and their legal advocates; and conducts community education on LGBT legal issues.
"The Center" is dedicated to building community, creating opportunity and securing equality in San Francisco. Its mission is to provide space and programs that welcome the LGBT community and its allies; unite the San Francisco LGBT community across lines of age, race, gender and economics; give visibility to the history, culture, and diversity of the LGBT community; organize and plan the political and cultural future for the LGBT community; and nurture new organizations and programs to meet community needs.
Robert Haas, President of the Levi Strauss Foundation, said, "The Levi Strauss Foundation and Levis Strauss & Co. have a proud history of promoting equal rights and fighting for social justice dating back to the 1940s when the company integrated our sewing plants." Haas continued, "We're making this commitment to these leading equal rights organizations because they are at the forefront of vital legal, public policy, community-building work to promote social justice. This is a critical time for businesses, community organizations and citizens to join together to achieve equal rights for all."
Kate Kendall, Executive Director of NCLR, said, "We are deeply moved by the decision of the Levi Strauss Foundation to award the National Center for Lesbian Rights a $25,000 grant. As we move forward in ensuring that fairness prevails, support from our allies is more critical than ever. Levi Strauss & Co. was an early business leader in standing up for full equality for our community. We take heart in the early and steady leadership that Levi Strauss has shown."
Executive Director of The Center, Rebecca Rolfe, said, "We're thrilled to continue our partnership with the Levi Strauss Foundation and recognize the longtime support and engagement of Levis Strauss & Co. in the LGBT community locally and nationally. We're excited to partner with them to ensure that the LGBT community in San Francisco has access to critical economic development, social services and a vibrant community culture."
