ADVOCACY - The Center is an advocate for equity and social justice within and externally to the LGBTQ+ community, acknowledging that identities of LGBTQ+ people are intersectional by breaking down systems of oppression that harm the most marginalized amongst us. We work to increase visibility, understanding, and access to services for LGBTQ+ people throughout the Sacramento region through individual advocacy and legal assistance, public policy and community organizing, outreach and training, and showcase our Queer Voices ensemble. In partnership with our Economic Justice program that develops LGBTQ+ friendly employers recruitment and retention pipelines for prospective employees, the center supported approx. 50 public policy changes, trained 1300 people and 10 corporations.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$245.1K
