DC LGBTQ+ Budget Coalition

We are a group of representatives from local LGBTQ+ and ally organizations working to advocate for dedicated funding that supports LGBTQ+ residents of DC.

Over the last few months, the DC LGBTQ+ Budget Coalition has been working hard with DC governmental officials, community members, and other coalitions to develop our FY25 and beyond budget & policy priorities. Read our letter:

Thank you to @CMZParker5 and your team for touring the new @TheDCCenter last week, and for your support in securing funding to complete the new center 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[Councilmember Zachary Parker @CMZParker5]

I was thrilled to tour the future DC LGBTQ+ Center in Shaw. I'm proud to have fought for and help win $1 million in the FY25 budget to complete this center. It will house many of the District’s LGBTQ-focused organizations and serve as a refuge for many community members.

[DC LGBTQ+ Budget Coalition @LGBTQBudget]

Thank you to @BrianneKNadeau & your team for coming to tour the new @TheDCCenter & for aiding in funding the completion of this vital center that will serve so many residents by providing key services and a safe space. Learn more about the new center: https://t.co/ovi9jPIVpx

I'm committed to bringing about change for the Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs because it's what the community is asking for. LGBTQ residents deserve greater clarity on how this office operates, and I appreciate @BrianneKNadeau’s partnership in getting this done.

[Brianne K. Nadeau @BrianneKNadeau]

We heard compelling testimony from residents that DMV, other agencies refused Spanish interpretation and denied services when they brought their own interpreters. Nobody should be treated this way–everyone deserves access to services. Also in the @DCHumanRights budget hearing...
