The papers were donated by Community Focus, one of the founding organizations, after the project ended in 2000.
The California Lavender Smokefree Project (CLSP) was established in 1995 by the Coalition of Lavender-Americans on Smoking
and Health (CLASH) and Community Focus, both of San Francisco, California. The organization began operation on what was originally
a two-year grant from the Tobacco Conrol Section of the California Department of Health Services of California's Proposition
99 funds (the Tobacco Tax Health Protection Act of 1998).
CLSP received the first statewide grant from that fund that focused on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
For the next five years, until July 1, 2000, it coordinated resource teams throughout California that developed and carried
out strategies to counter tobacco advertising in that community.
Scope and Content of Collection
These records document the work of the California Lavender Smokefree Project throughout its five-year course. Materials include
correspondence, newsletters, flyers and pamphlets, contact and focus group reports, newspaper and magazine clippings, photographs,
signs, press releases, photocopies of articles, printouts of project planning, media kits, fact sheets, advertising and drafts
of advertising. Subjects covered include tobacco industry targeting of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ("LGBT")
community, smokefree bars and restaurants, regional teams and related organizations working toward tobacco control in the
LGBT community, prevention of tobacco use among youth, and related topics.
