YOUR VOTE, YOUR POWER
Callen-Lorde Voting Guide
Across the country, LGBTQ+ people, particularly those in BIPOC and TGNB communities, are facing unprecedented threats to our health and well-being due to harmful and ill-informed policies. In 2023, over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in state legislatures.
This year is not just a Presidential election. Every member of the New York State Legislature is up for election. These races shape critical policies on housing, healthcare, and workers’ rights.
