Who We Are | Stonewall Democrats

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
"Until we are all free, we are none of us free.” - Emma Lazarus
