Elina and her team have also created  a fundraising project with the help of Jagermeister's #SaveTheNight  campaign, to raise $200K in critical funds to help save our bars.   In this intimate interview, Elina shares with us the seeds of this project through her coming out story and the vital role New York City's lesbian bars played in her own self-discovery and empowerment. You can watch Elina and Erica's film at <a href='http://www.lesbianbarproject.com/'>www.lesbianbarproject.com</a> and we urge you to also consider making a donation through their website, to help save our bars.  The fundraiser runs only until the end of June, so please support this effort without delay. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1080572/open_sms">Send us a text</a><a rel="payment" href="https://paypal.me/sundaysatcafetabac?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US">Support the show</a>Recorded at The Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza in NYC.
