State of the Movement Generic Wordmark

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, and is 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?
