In North Dakota, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals face unique challenges and barriers that impact their daily lives, including discrimination, lack of inclusive policies, and limited access to supportive resources. Advocacy is essential in creating a more equitable and inclusive environment where everyone can live authentically and without fear. Through raising awareness, pushing for policy changes, and fostering a sense of community, we can ensure that LGBTQIA2S+ voices are heard and rights are protected. Our advocacy efforts aim to build a future where diversity is celebrated, and everyone, regardless of their identity, can thrive and feel valued.

North Dakota Human Rights Coalition

The North Dakota Human Rights Coalition (NDHRC) represents a wide array of individuals and organizations dedicated to advancing human rights in North Dakota. Our efforts are focused on promoting human rights through education, the dissemination of information, and legislative initiatives. www.ndhrc.org

Equality Counts North Dakota

Created in response to the failure of SB2279 which would have protected LGBTQIA people from discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations, Equality Counts North Dakota is a powerful visual project, showing that North Dakotans stand for equality and support equal protections for ALL in our state.

Faith Forward Network

Faith Forward Network works to improve social justice in North Dakota by mobilizing faith leaders and faithful citizens. While many of us are involved with compassion ministries, we also see a need to address the causes of social justice issues through policy changes and community organizing. Our religious principles call us to improve creation care (environmental justice), economic justice, human trafficking, and human rights in our state. www.faithforwardnd.org
