ENGAGEMENT

Every level of government– from city council and school board to our federal leader– has significant impacts on the daily lives of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. QEI wants to make sure that all of our community members are ready to participate and no one is left behind.

EDUCATION

There is simply too much hate in this world for politics alone to tackle. If we want to break this hatred, we must work together and in good faith across all venues of change: art, culture, media, business, social engagement, and more.

EMPOWERMENT

By empowering queer leaders with resources and networking opportunities with those directly impacting public policy, we can break down both the visible and invisible barriers to engagement in civic and political processes.

By trans people, for trans people

We know that black and trans voices have long been at the forefront of liberation movements for all peoples. Our team is made up of entirely trans and queer community members looking to make their lives - and their world - expansive, beautiful, and representational.

Creating change together

We know civic engagement and political activism can be hugely intimidating - but we make it so you can learn and grow and get involved at the pace that’s best for you. From salons to rallies to smaller events, there’s a way to get involved for everyone.

WE CAN CHANGE THIS SH*T TOGETHER.
