Support LGBTQIA+ leaders running for local office!
Run for Something remains deeply committed to our efforts to elect young, diverse leaders who reflect our communities, and who can make meaningful progress on combating discrimination against all communities who experience it.
We believe that better, more reflective leadership is an important part of LGBTQIA+ progress.
This Pride month, we are asking supporters to directly support the amazing LGBTQIA+ candidates we're working with in 2023.
Each donation will be split evenly between Run for Something's slate of 2023 endorsed candidates who identify as LGBTQIA+, and whose campaigns accept donations via ActBlue.
