So You Want to Run for Office – Pride Month Edition: Advance Equality, Run For Office

Everyone should have the right to run – and come to the voter as they are. This Pride Month, join us to explore what it means to run for office if you are an LGBTQ+ leader in the making. 

Being out and running for office can feel especially challenging right now. But it’s also why this training can be especially important. Acceptance, representation, a voice at the table, and the protection of our rights all work in tandem. Representation is how we got to a Supreme Court decision about marriage equality. More representation, especially at the grassroots level, is how we will get to have and keep more equality – in all ways – the law of the land. 

Are you a member of the LGBTQ+ community and would you like to run for office? Are you perhaps considering a run for elected office but haven’t yet made the commitment to run or filed your candidacy? Then this virtual live training is for you! 

Join our expert trainer and come away with insights and next steps on the following topics:

• Understanding the steps necessary to run for office

• Best practices for choosing which office to run for

• Discerning if running is the right decision for you – especially if you are LGBTQ+ and have never run for office but are thinking about it

• Identifying what kinds of supports you’ll need to run for office

• Preparing for sharing your decision to run with your support network
