June Queer Social at the Alley / Pride in the Prado After-Party

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 — Take action on urgency advocacy areas, including housing, transit/transportation, healthcare, and queer youth community centers
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
