LGBTQ ADVOCACY

Our statewide advocacy initiative, RiseOut, represents a shared vision of justice and equity for the future of the LGBTQ community in New York State.

Our legislative priorities, known as the RiseOut People’s Platform, were created in collaboration with dozens of LGBTQ community leaders across New York State. Together we are fighting to:

  • Advance Equity & Inclusion for Transgender & Gender Nonconforming People
  • Increase Access to Affirming Mental Health Services
  • Promote Restorative Justice Principles
  • Ensure LGBTQ Visibility & Affirmation
  • Demand Economic Justice
