Looking for ways to keep the conversation going about LGBTQ+ issues with your ERG, community group, or PFLAG chapter? Welcome to Something to Talk About, a series designed by PFLAG National’s Straight for Equality program to create conversation about LGBTQ+...
Advocacy is a big part of the mission of PFLAG: Our organizational roots are in activism, starting nearly 50 years agowith one mom in New York who took to the streets with a homemade sign, advocating for equality and justice for her gay child. Our members and supporters are building on that legacy, working to achieve LGBTQ+ equality by changing hearts, minds, and laws. PFLAG works at the local level, at the city and state level, and at the federal level to effect change so that people who are LGBTQ+ are protected from discrimination, harassment, and harm. Here you'll find resources to help you with advocacy, teach you about lobbying, and share all about PFLAG National's legislative priorities. Our tools will also help you feel confident as you meet with your legislators, go to town halls, plan events, advocate through social media, and more.
Advocacy One-Pagers
Handy one-page sheets with information on lobbying, building coalitions, advocating via social media, and more.
Legislative One-Pagers
