Advocacy for LGBTQIA people is an important commitment of Dakota OutRight. We regularly partner with other organizations across the state to improve protections, increase access to services, and create larger social change. These organizations Learn more about some of our community partners:

North Dakota Human Rights Coalition

The North Dakota Human Rights Coalition (NDHRC) is a broad-based coalition of individuals and organizations with an interest in the furtherance of human rights in North Dakota. We work toward the enhancement of human rights in North Dakota through information, education and legislative action. www.ndhrc.org

Equality Counts North Dakota

Created in response to the failure of SB2279 that 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.  www.facebook.com/equalitycountsnd

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. We are called by our religious principles to improve creation care (environmental justice), economic justice, human trafficking, and human rights in our state. www.faithforwardnd.org
