First Lighthouse Foundation Caucus Meeting

Join us for our first Lighthouse Foundation caucus meeting.

We are asking that only African American LGBTQ+ identifying individuals attend this meeting. We also ask that Center on Halsted staff and board of directors do not attend this meeting until further notice*.

*Lighthouse Foundation has named as its latest organizing focus the Center on Halsted CEO Modesto “Tico” Valle, for his employment of Walsh Security at the Center. To be clear, our issue is not with rank and file Center on Halsted staff, who work tirelessly to serve the community [despite his POC staff turnover]. However, one purpose of our organizing meetings is to provide those impacted by Valle’s policies at the Center with an environment where they feel free to speak to their concerns, fears, and hopes. While we will meet with COH leaders in the future, at this time, we ask COH staff and members of its Board of Directors not to attend Foundation meetings.
