Watch 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. How can our community rise to this moment, show up collectively, and fight back?
State of the Movement 2024: Our Collective Power was a free, virtual discussion and live Q&A between Horizons President Roger Doughty and LGBTQ leaders Fran Hutchins, Executive Director of Equality Federation; Andy Marra, CEO of Advocates for Trans Equality; Ricardo Martinez, Executive Director of GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders; and Shannon Minter, Legal Director at the National Center for Lesbian Rights about the present and future of the queer movement.
Transgender Day of Remembrance: Sharing SF Bay Area Resources
Horizons Foundation is proud to observe Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) and honor the memory of transgender people whose lives were lost in past acts of anti-transgender violence. We recognize and commemorate the trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people who have been targeted simply for living their authentic lives.

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.
