ACT

Activism is central to the story of queer liberation – it is part of our community’s DNA.

Activism is effective, it changes public sentiment, politics and policy.

Activism creates more engaged membership,
supercharging our efforts as a caucus and a country
committee.

EDUCATE

The LGBTQ+ community has a rich history which must be preserved and passed along.

Education plays a vital role in raising awareness and eliminating discrimination.

Education fuels action.

CELEBRATE

To commemorate progress made by the community over the years.

To honor the heroes of our community, known and unknown.

To build relationships and create memories which fuel our activism.
