Program Spotlights
X is a Queer Issue
X Is a Queer Issue is a monthly conversation series that explores issues not always immediately recognized as LGBTQ+ concerns—but that deeply shape our lives, identities, and futures. From culture and media to systems of power and equity, this series challenges us to think expansively about what liberation requires.
The OC (The Organizing Committee)
The OC is the Task Force’s ongoing organizing space for building power, skills, and solidarity in real time. As attacks on LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, Black and brown communities, and democratic institutions continue, this space centers relationship-building, political education, and collective action. Organizing doesn’t stop after an election—it takes sustained effort all year long.
Policy Power Hour
Policy Power Hour is a recurring series designed to make policy clear, accessible, and relevant. Each session breaks down key legislation and policy developments—without jargon—so you understand what’s happening, why it matters, and how it impacts you and your community.
Empower Hour
Empower Hour is a gathering that explores the intersection of faith, advocacy, and justice. This space centers spiritual grounding, moral courage, and collective reflection as tools for sustaining long-term movement work. Empower Hour invites participants to engage questions of liberation, ethics, and belonging across faith traditions and lived experiences.
