Vision
We envision a Washington State where every candidate we train wins their race and every policy that affects the LGBTQ+ community does not pass without our support.
Mission Statement
To acheive our vision we must develop the best training for LGBTQ+ candidates and policy advocates, leverage our statewide-network of advocates to support LGBTQ+ activism, ensure the LGBTQ+ community is present at all levels of party leadership, and build our expertise and reputation so that our endorsements carry weight across the state.
Values
-
Intersectionality is integral to the political truth of the LGBTQ+ community
