Current Projects & Programs
We work to create a positive future for LGBTQIA+ New Hampshire on three levels: Political, Cultural, and Personal.
Policy
We support legislation that empowers the LGBTQIA+ community to live to their full capacity within the Granite State, contributing to their local economies, and enriching their local communities by living their fully authentic lives. One of our primary focuses is to give our community the necessary tools to engage within the democratic process at every point of access. This is both a practical tool for folks in the LGBTQIA+ community, and another resource for connection and empowerment.
Keep an eye on our policy section for updates on bills, testimony, and other opportunities to advocate for good change in the state and nation.
Storytelling
Education and Community empowerment through Storytelling. We host monthly events throughout the state, in which community members tell their stories at vulnerable depth to the broader community. The intent is to be seen with empathy - humanizing members of the LGBTQIA+ community in the process. Long-term, this will educate neighbors and community members about LGBTQIA issues, build a strong sense of connection between all, and empower those within the queer community to advocate and share their stories in meaningful ways.
Please check our events page for upcoming storytelling events.
De-Escalation and Self-Defense
Safety and Resiliency building through De-Escalation and self-defense training and workshops. We offer bimonthly trauma-informed safety trainings to small groups. The trainings scale from verbal de-escalation to light self-defense, with a focus on exiting a dangerous scene with minimal impact. This program helps to empower those within the LGBTQIA+ community to build mental, emotional, and physical strength and resilience through a trauma-informed lens. They also help build community and give folks the tools to pivot out of dangerous situations in real time..
