Our Producers' Circle is an invaluable group of major donors whose annual contribution of $1,000 or more provides the vital resources that allow In The Life Media to remain at the forefront of LGBT journalistic media. Thanks to their support, we are able to investigate the roots of hate, tell stories that cannot be found anywhere else, and produce media that is used to inform Congress, mobilize grassroots action and inspire advocacy on LGBT issues across the country. Producers' Circle members are integral partners in our mission to use the transformative power of media — both on air and online — to educate people and influence public opinion.
