Unity Project of Oregon, formerly known as Brother to Brother, has expanded to reflect its new, inclusive vision and mission. “Responding to the needs of our community, we expanded the organization to engage the broader Black/African-American GLBT community and our allies and expand the scope of the issues we address. Our work is essential to the success of inclusive and vibrant communities. We are very excited about moving forward,” said Craig Tyson, Board Chair. For more than 14 years, Brother to Brother advocated on behalf of and supported gay and bisexual men in the Black/African-American community who live with HIV/AIDS.

Mission: We are a community of Black/African-American same gender loving, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people, friends and family dedicated to empowering and improving the quality of life within our community through, social change, justice and equality.
