About this project

The Stonewall Network is on a mission to be instrumental to the LGBTQ+ movement’s electoral success. We’re connecting grassroots LGBTQ+ groups with each other and making them easier to find by everyday people who’d get involved in the political process if they only knew how.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support, organize, and promote grassroots LGBTQ+ advocacy groups nationwide by fostering collaboration, resource sharing, and effective volunteer recruitment through our digital platform and other programs.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where grassroots LGBTQ+ political groups are united, strong, and impactful. We envision a future where anti-LGBTQ+ policies are political campaign killers in any jurisdiction and no school board meeting happens without someone present to stand up for LGBTQ+ kids.

Our Goal

We’re building a digital networking platform that enables LGBTQ+ groups to collaborate, share resources, and recruit volunteers effectively, leading to long-term sustainability and significant positive change for the community.
