Voter Advocacy

Other organizations like Citizens Count do an effective job of tracking and educating the NH public on proposed legislation and policy that touch 49 different focus areas, but LGBTQIA+ issues are not the forefront of their platform. With the sheer scale and scope of New Hampshire’s legislative landscape, coupled with the disproportionate number of bills impacting the lives of LGBTQIA Granite Staters, we identified a need to educate and inform the public about policy issues that are directly connected with this community. 

The 603E Voter Advocacy Initiative creates a multi-pronged approach to engaging, informing, and empowering voters who care about LGBTQIA issues by:

• Tracking legislation that touches the LGBTQIA+ community and providing updates and information on how NH residents can effectively engage with proposed legislation at every stage. 

• Creating guides and toolkits on how to understand and engage with legislation in meaningful ways. 

• Creating pathways to connect with elected officials on policy issues that effect the LGBTQIA+ community 

• Sharing alerts through newsletters and social media about policy issues.

• Focusing on policy-related accountability across political parties, to maintain and highlight the public record of where elected officials stand on LGBTQIA+ policies and legislation.
