Advocacy
As part of Belong's mission to increase acceptance and welcoming of LGBTQ individuals in the community, we participate in local advocacy efforts in several ways. These include:
-
Meeting with local and state government to discuss policies surrounding the LGBTQ community
-
Attending pride flag raisings and proclamations by local government
-
Maintaining and repainting a rainbow-painted fire hydrant (Pridrant) in Geneva, IL after repeated vandalism attacks
-
Organizing counter protests to homophobic protestors
-
Speaking at local school board meetings to defend and support LGBTQ students
-
And more!
