One aspect of our community that I love is its resilience. Our community knows, perhaps better than any other, howΒ to survive and then thrive, a pandemic. We do this by staying calm, staying positive, and staying connected. Being there for one another.
Β
During this challenging time it’s important to have access to accurateΒ information and resources for small businessesΒ as a result of the Covid-19 virus; and to find ways we can stay connected to, and supportive of one another.
Β
For our part, the GGBA has:
Β – Cancelled all live events for April and May, including events related to Small Business Week
Β – Created a webpage of information and resources for San Francisco small businesses, located under both the ‘News’ and ‘Resources’ header –Β https://ggba.com/covid19_resources/Β Β

Β – Signed on to theΒ letter from National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) and all U.S. Affiliate LGBT Chambers to send to Congress regardingΒ emergency financial reliefΒ for small business members.
