Frontlines: The Latest from OutServe-SLDN

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker observed that “Activism is my rent for living on this planet.” For almost 20 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend my activist energies working for the LGBT community. I am proud to continue that work with you at SLDN – especially at this exciting time for our movement. For more than 13 years, SLDN has been an irreplaceable lifeline for LGBT service members and their loved ones. Thanks to SLDN, our brothers and sisters in uniform rest a little easier at night. SLDN has always had a stellar reputation and a great track record – and after just over one week as the interim executive director, I can see why. The staff, board and advisory board are mission-focused, committed to helping those we serve, and dedicated to repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Once and for all. To all of SLDN’s donors, volunteers, staff, board members, clients and allies, I say thank you for contributing your activist energies to this noble cause. Together, we are tearing down the walls of discrimination. What an amazing way to pay our rent! - Kathleen DeBold P.S. Please know that my ‘virtual door’ is always open.
