Joy, Safety, Power, and Belonging for All!
We are committed to the collective liberation of LGBTQIA+ people and all those impacted by systemic oppression. Our values are rooted in justice, equity, love, and transformative action. As the Pride Caucus, we recognize that survival is not enough, to truly be liberated, we must be able to thrive. We demand joy, safety, power, and belonging for all. These values guide how we organize, lead, and show up for one another both within the LP network and beyond.
The Pride Caucus is open to any member of the LGBTQIA+ Spectrum who identifies as a member of the community.
“For me, the Pride Caucus is more than a gathering. It is a lifeline. As a Black, queer local elected, this space reminds me that I am not leading alone. Surrounded by people who understand my journey, I find strength, joy, and the courage to keep fighting. Together, we transform our stories into collective power that makes our communities safer and more liberating for all”
Pride Caucus Leadership Committee
As a membership organization, we believe our work is most impactful when it is informed and guided by members. The Pride Caucus is guided by a leadership committee to help outline a vision and shared strategy, unified by this statement of values for the Pride Caucus.
