State of the Movement 2024: Our Collective Power
Given the Election Day results, it's clear that the LGBTQ movement can expect to confront overwhelming challenges. The political right is sharpening its plans for putting their alarming agenda into action, an dis sure to keep dividing the nation with anti-LGBTQ legislation. The Supreme Court is strangling our rights. How can our community rise to this moment, show up collectively, and fight back? How can we move—together—from reactive to active in the face of inevitable future attacks, and what lessons can we learn from the times and places we’ve played offense?
Horizons Commends Department of Defense Decision to Upgrade LGBTQ Servicemember Records While Calling for More Action
Horizons Foundation commends the recent DOD move, which takes steps to rectify decades of anti-LGBTQ policies that negatively impacted the lives of hundreds of servicemembers who only wanted to honorably serve their country. The Bay Area-based organization Swords to Plowshares—a Horizons grantee partner since 1999—works to alleviate poverty and homelessness among veterans. While they are also encouraged by these actions, they note the work is far from over.
