Legislative Equali-TEA

Have a cup of Equali-Tea with us!

Join us for our summer community engagement series, "Legislative Equali-TEA!" In this three-part series, we will ask you to: Take a quick, 3-minute community survey, Engage in a virtual town hall, and Advance LGBTQ rights by helping us create a 2021 action plan. We hope that you'll participate in this series so that you can share with us your experiences as an LGBTQ Virginian or ally, and make sure we're advocating for the issues that matter the most to you.

T - Take the Community Survey

August 5th through August 19th
We hope that you'll participate in this series so that you can share with us your experiences as an LGBTQ Virginian or ally, and make sure we're advocating for the issues that matter the most to you. This survey will only take three minutes and your responses will be anonymous. We especially encourage LGBTQ Black, Indigenous, and people of color to complete the survey. Encourage your friends to take the survey, too.

So, go ahead and take your first sip of TEA with us and complete our community survey by Wednesday, August 19, 2020. Click here to get started: https://bit.ly/EV2020Survey

E - Engage in the Virtual Town Hall

Wednesday, August 26th at 6:00PM
We've come such a long way this past year, but there's a lot more to be done until there's full equality for all LGBTQ Virginians. Join us for the "E" in TEA and engage in our virtual town hall where we'll share the results from the community survey and discuss the experiences LGBTQ Virginians are currently facing. Plus, we'll talk about the issues you'd like to see addressed legislatively in 2021.

Since we're not able to connect in-person, this virtual town hall will be a fun way to reconnect with some familiar faces, while reflecting on the results of the community survey. For your security, registration is free, but required. Click here to register: https://bit.ly/EVTownHall

A - Advance LGBTQ Rights 2021 Action Plan

Wednesday, September 2nd at 6:00PM
In order to successfully advance LGBTQ rights at the General Assembly next year, we need to create an action plan. That is where you come in! We will share a last sip of TEA together on September 2nd.  What LGBTQ issues are you most passionate about? How do you want to get involved? Join us for this interactive session where we'll break out into groups to discuss specific topics to tackle legislatively.

Together, we'll create an action plan and lay the ground work for another year of success at the General Assembly! For your security, registration is free, but required. Click here to register: https://bit.ly/EV2021ActionPlan
