About this Event

Project Briggs, Inc. in collaboration with The Butler's Kitchen and SAG Entertainment presents.

Food, Friends & Mpox Awareness - An Evening of Conversations and Delicious Jamaican Cuisine

Harm Reduction Training Powered by: National Coalition for LGBTQ Health

The National Coalition for LGBTQ Health has launched a microgrant program* with LGBTQ organizations to support their efforts to increase mpox awareness through dissemination of information and educational resources.

Abdur-Rahim Briggs, President-CEO for Project Briggs, Inc. will provide awareness and educational materials designed to further empower our community with knowledge and resources for dissemination, enabling them to more fully engage in preventive measures and raise awareness of vaccination and its equitable access.

As a micrograntee, our outreach efforts are supported by the Coalitionโ€™s Mpox Resource Center, which provides information, data, links to resources, and general news from multiple sources on Mpox in the United States and globally.
