Unity Coalition|Coalición Unida Celebrates its 10th Anniversary with Renewed Energy & Plans for
Leaders, Legends & Lovelies Event and Celebrate ORGULLO Festival, and much more for 2012
February 2012, Miami, Florida – With the New Year
comes the Tenth Anniversary of Unity Coalition|
Coalición Unida (UC|CU), a Florida non-profit whose
focus is the Leadership, Protection & Promotion of
Latino|Hispanic LGBTQ rights (lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, questioning) - The only organization of its
kind in South Florida since 2002, and many new goals,
programs and plans for the future.
The first major event for UC|CU in 2012 will be the
3rd Annual LEADERS, LEGENDS & LOVELIES Lectures,
Exhibits and Legends Ball, which celebrates the good,
positive & outstanding within our LGBT community. This
year's theme for the Leaders, Legends & Lovelies (LL&L)
events is Fabulous Florida Fashion. As part of their
museum-quality exhibit & Lecture Series UC|CU will
feature several prominent designers and their work -
exhibit renderings, works in progress, amazing gowns,
accessories, etc. The Legends Ball will take place on
Thursday, April 12th at the Art Deco Welcome Center in
Miami Beach. Also on the schedule are the UC|CU lectures
and interviews at the LL&L Exhibit on Sunday, April 15th in front
of an audience during Miami Beach Gay PRIDE.
There are several training & community workshops planned for 2012,
including the UC|CU State of Hate Workshop series, Community
Leadership workshops, as well as ongoing advocacy and community
support programs such as the International Latino|Hispanic LGBT
Community Resource Center, providing thousands of resources online
at unitycoalition.org.
Established in 2002 to help educate and empower the Latino|
Hispanic voters of Miami-Dade about the then-impending overturning
of the Human Rights ordinance, UC|CU translated informational
materials into Spanish, organized volunteers, hit the streets, went door
to door, and successfully regained 13 polling places to victory – districts
and neighborhoods long considered anti-gay rights, and helped keep
our rights in the Miami-Dade law books.
Looking to October, Unity Coalition|Coalición Unida is honored and
proud to present the 2nd Annual Celebrate ORGULLO Festival on the
sands of Miami Beach, October 3-6, 2012. Celebrate ORGULLO
highlights, showcases and supports the cultural contributions of the
Hispanic LGBT community with a multitude of booths; a huge
performance stage with international talent; a community Conga Line;
National LGBT Leaders Summit, and much more – It all starts on the
sand at 11th Street & Ocean Drive. The event is free and open to the
public and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of food and beverages
will benefit our LGBT Youth Scholarship Fund and year round
programming of the Unity Coalition|Coalicion Unida, Inc. This year
ORGULLO has also teamed up with RISE Cruises to present the
ORGULLO Cruise, a 4 day Caribbean adventure on the high seas.

volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Get involved today by
