"Unity LGBTQ: Advocating Pride, Equity & Empowerment in Every Workplace"
🏳️🌈 About Us
Unity LGBTQ is a proud, independent advocacy network committed to advancing inclusion, equity, and respect for LGBTQ+ individuals across workplaces, unions, and community spaces. Founded on lived experience and driven by the principle that visibility is survival, we stand at the crossroads of social justice, industrial relations, and cultural authenticity.
Our movement emerged in response to systemic neglect, discrimination, and the urgent need for representation—especially for those whose stories have been sidelined, silenced, or stereotyped. Unity LGBTQ is dedicated to changing this narrative.
We unite workers, activists, elected representatives, union members, and allies to create a space where every identity is affirmed and every voice is empowered.
What We Do
🛠️ Workplace Advocacy — We fight for inclusive policies, protections, and education across all industries to ensure safe and equitable environments for LGBTQ+ individuals. This includes advocating for anti-discrimination measures, gender-affirming healthcare access, and comprehensive diversity training.
🗣️ Storytelling & Visibility — We highlight member journeys, mentorship stories, and the hard truths that demand attention, fostering understanding and empathy. By sharing authentic experiences, we challenge stereotypes and promote acceptance.
💬 Mentorship & Support — We connect generations of LGBTQ+ people, providing guidance, affirmation, and pride to nurture personal and professional growth. Our mentorship programs create safe spaces for learning and empowerment.
🏛️ Campaigns & Coalition Building — We drive legislative and structural change that centers equity, collaborating with partners to create lasting impact. Through coalition building, we amplify our collective voice to influence policy and workplace culture.
Unity is more than a name—it’s a mission. We honor intersectionality, celebrate community leadership, and champion the right of every LGBTQ+ person to be seen, heard, and respected.
Together, we are not just fighting for change—we are shaping it.
