A Message to Our Community from 200+ Organizations Committed to Advancing LGBTQIA2S+ Freedom

February 21, 2025

A message to our community from 200+ national, state, and local organizations committed to advancing LGBTQIA2S+ freedom: 

In these challenging times, we remind ourselves that ours is a legacy of care. Our stories, our families, our art, our voices, and our lives are powerful. We hold onto this truth: Those working to divide us cannot take away our joy because they didn’t give it to us in the first place. Trans and queer joy will always exist because trans and queer people will always be here.

It’s crucial for LGBTQIA2S+ communities, organizations, and our allies across the country to come together. When we collaborate and when we create community, we amplify our power and strengthen our impact.

To everyone in our community: We are here. We will keep fighting for us, showing up for us, and creating spaces where we can all feel safe and loved. We are not alone. Together, we will continue to fight for a world where all LGBTQIA2S+ people and our families are seen, heard, and celebrated. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🗣️
