Brian M. Green
Executive Director, Community DevelopmentBrian was introduced to advocacy in grade school as he assisted his mother and her colleagues as they mimeographed flyers and stuffed envelopes for the League of Women Voters. Whether it was just the exposure to toxic fumes or paper cuts, this apparently made an indelible impression on him.
Fast forwarding through the decades, Brian directly engaged in and led advocacy efforts for HIV/AIDS awareness, LGBTQ equality and health, as well as advocacy and public affairs in areas of sexual and reproductive health. These groups included: ACT UP Philly, Univ. of Delaware LGBT Student Union, Queer CampUS, National LGBT Health Coalition, National LGBT Tobacco Control Network, AIDS Treatment Advocacy Coalition, Fight-the- Right Network, Philadelphia LGBT Police Liaison Committee, Pennsylvania Health Access Network, and AccessMatters.
