GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS & COURAGE CAMPAIGN ENDORSE SAVE A LIFE!

Hey everyone! Glad to announce that we've been busy at Birdtank Productions and have been working on getting the word out about the documentary. We have been making some great steps toward getting this all laid out and ready to complete production. Recently we've had meetings with Adam Bink of Courage Campaign as well as Nathan Schaefer from Gay Men's Health Crisis and they are both very amazing men taking leaps to help make the world a better place and advocate for GLBT Equality.

The great news I have to report, is that BOTH "Gay Men's Health Crisis" and "Courage Campaign" have put themselves in league with us and have decided to sponsor and endorse us. We are so happy to have these organizations believe in our cause and what we are trying to do with getting our information out to the public and informing them on the issues. The MSM Blood Ban is in review with the HHS and it is largely because of the work of GMHC.

Please help us reach our goal so we can get to Washington DC and take a big step toward finishing production! We appreciate your love and support!

WE'RE BACK IN THE GAME!

We're BACK! We apologize for having taken such a long hiatus from our Blog. If you've befriended us on facebook, you'll know we've been keeping things moving along still.

Here's a little history for you if you're not caught up.

Save A Life is working on getting funded in order to complete production and move towards post in hopes of getting picked up by a network for broadcast television. Our goal with this film is to create awareness for the general public about the MSM Blood Ban and its intolerance. We are working to help remove this law to encompass all capable blood donors to do their part and be treated as equals. This is not about allowing anyone to donate blood, this is about ensuring that the Gay Male community is not casted away as "damaged goods" or "high potential for being AIDS/STD carriers." Blood is blood and if you are have been tested and are in good standings to donate, it is your civic responsibility to do so.

We believe in changing the laws in the same way that Russia has lifted the ban and many other countries are working towards doing. We urge you to stay informed and inform your local and state representatives that this is an issue you care deeply about.

We have heard stories of families that have lost loved ones because the MSM Blood Ban prohibited other family members from donating blood or other vital organs needed for an operation. Let us work to make a difference, and please stay tuned. We will be updating you with all of the information that has been going on in the past few months!
