Help Positive Images Create A Sonoma County Where all LGBTQIA+ People Thrive

Belong and Thrive

For 33 years, Positive Images has been a key resource for serving the diverse needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals. We have seen firsthand the unique needs and barriers (as well as joy and strengths) that comes with identifying as Queer and/or Trans. Because of this, we are disheartened by lack of LGBTQIA+ data in Sonoma County data collection efforts, such as the Portrait of Sonoma County, and inspired to create a needs assessment that represents our community. Although we praise the work of the Portrait, the report as it stands overlooks the nuanced challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals when it comes to systemic issues such as education, income, housing, health and more. In order for us to be seen and taken into consideration by decision-makers, it is important to account for LGBTQIA+ representation as an intersection of identity in reports like these.

This is where your support becomes transformational. Your organization can join us in supporting this work in several ways:

1. Share the link to our online bilingual survey with your networks and/or on your social platforms from now until August. Please see attached graphics for social media posts. http://tinyurl.com/LGBTQIAneeds
2. Help us facilitate connections with professionals who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or who work directly with the LGBTQIA+ community so that we may conduct key-informant interviews.

Your partnership in this initiative is not only an investment to create a more inclusive Sonoma County but also a powerful statement affirming the diverse voices within the LGBTQIA+ community!
