7 Pillars Collaborative hasn't added a story.
The LGBTQIA community is facing an imminent crisis. There have been 426 anti-LGBTQIA bills introduced in US State legislative sessions in 2023. 344 of these bills are advancing, and 204 impact children. While not all of these bills will be passed, they all cause harm to the LGBTQIA community.
What your donations support:
The 7 Pillars Collaborative is a group of grass-roots organizers who are bracing for the devastating impacts of these bills on LGBTQIA communities and families. In states that will pass these laws, our organizers expect dramatic increases in requests for community support, medical care & mental health support, suicide & drug intervention, and incarceration support. We are preparing a network of partnership programs to offer support for those who will be directly impacted. Donations are tax deductible and will be used in the following areas :
- Truth - Justice Support for legal support for the justice-involved
- Humility - Community Building for free fiscal sponsorships and guidance for grassroots orgs seeking 501c3 status.
- Honesty - Medical & Mental Health for basic medical needs, HRT, peer support, trauma recovery
- Love - Kindred Spirits for disability rights, youth & family support, reproductive rights
- Wisdom - Sustainable Living for housing security, education, job training, financial literacy
- Courage - Harm Reduction for addiction recovery, sex worker's rights, community protection & self defense
- Respect - Dignity in Passing for TGNCI/LGBQA advanced care directives, death doula support, memorialization programs
Other ways you can help:
-
Donate to small, local LGBTQIA or TGNCI organizations who do
direct support work. *Do NOT donate to large or national LGBTQIA
support orgs. They often offer no direct support services and have
a minimal impact on people in immediate need.
- Share our work
- Volunteer time or services
- Follow the progress of anti-LGBTQIA bills in your state with the ACLU's anti-LGBTQIA Bill Map
- Reach out to your State leadership. Write, email, call, petition. and encourage your friends to it too.
- VOTE in local and State elections. The introduction of State bills that promote harm to LQBTQAI communities and reduce our rights to body autonomy demonstrates that State leadership has more of a direct impact on your community than any President. Choose local leaders who will choose to protect your rights to body autonomy.
