Grounded in the pursuit of equality, justice, and liberation, we recognize that LGBTQIA+ people experience intersecting and compounding forms of oppression. In response, we work in solidarity across social justice movements, understanding that anti-racism, gender equity, economic justice, reproductive freedom, health care, housing, food security, and access to education are all LGBTQIA+ issues. We are committed to advancing political and social change through collective action whenever possible.

• Advocacy and mobilization for laws, policies, and public funding sources that protect the rights and health of LGBTQIA communities.
• Leadership development that encourages LGBTQIA people to seek public office and creates a pipeline for emerging LGBTQIA leaders.
• Public education about the rights and needs of LGBTQIA people in CT.
• Programmatic activities that bring people together and celebrate LGBTQIA communities and culture in CT.
• Resource tracking and research to achieve demonstrable growth in philanthropic support for CT’s LGBTQIA Community.
