Mission Statement
The mission of the California LGBT Tobacco Education Partnership (LGBT Partnership) is to counteract, through education and advocacy efforts, the negative impact tobacco use has had on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community.
Description
The LGBT Partnership is funded by the California
Department of Public Health/Tobacco Control Section (CDPH/TCS). The LGBT Partnership is involved in advocating for tobacco industry donation and sponsorship policies and reducing availability of tobacco. We work with California's LGBT elected officials to resist tobacco industry donations and work to reduce availability of tobacco products in LGBT neighborhoods through tobacco-free pharmacy policies.
The LGBT Partnership has been a project of the California Tobacco Control Program since 2003. We are a member of the San Francisco Tobacco Free Coalition.
