 Jack Harrison-Quintana, M.A., is a Queer Latino activist, author, and researcher currently serving as the Director of Grindr for Equality. Grindr for Equality is a program to promote LGBTQ health and human rights by the world's largest queer dating app. Jack explained the four strategies of his work:

  1. Messaging, connecting Grindr users with local LGBTQ organizations and information
  2. Research, raising the voices of the community of users by engaging them in participatory research
  3. App architecture, bringing social justice into the product itself, including in the areas of health, trans-inclusion, and safety
  4. Funding, providing small grants to LGBTQ organizations working on the ground around the world
  5. We discussed key projects under Jack's leadership such as Kindr Grindr, the language access program, and sexual health reminders on the Grindr app.
