This will be a unique opportunity to actively engage with our representatives, voice your concerns, and gain insights into the legislative priorities that directly impact our LGBTQIA+ community. This forum will allow for an open dialogue, fostering community and collaboration between constituents and elected officials.

Please join regardless of where you live! You don’t need to live in one of the representatives’ districts to attend and participate, we’ll be discussing issues that affect our local and statewide LGBTQIA+ community.

About The Queer Neighborhood Council

LGBTQIA+ people deserve civic & community spaces where we can safely exist as our whole selves.

Showing up in front of neighbors & strangers in community and official public meetings can be uncomfortable, and it can be hard to fully engage.

That’s the problem TQNC set out to solve.

We focus on four pillars chosen by community feedback:

1) Policy Roundtables — Opportunities to engage directly with elected officials and policy experts

2) Housing Policy Advocacy Group — Based on consistent feedback from TQNC Community Connection attendees & member surveys, housing is the most urgent advocacy area in dire need of action

3) Community Arts — Providing opportunities to support and engage with local Boston-area queer artists and art venues

4) Socials — To build community and bring people from our other three pillars together, we host monthly gatherings in queer-forward spaces
