Lgbtq Victory Institute Inc

Global Program: Victory Institute works with local partners globally to build LGBTQ+ political participation in countries where LGBTQ+ elected officials are rare and LGBTQ+ equality remains elusive. Victory Institute offers trainings, works with political parties, builds visibility campaigns and institutes other programs in-country to support out leaders. It also holds the Conference of LGBTI Political Leaders of the Americas and Caribbean every other year with more than 600 LGBTQ+ elected officials and activists in attendance.

Research and Communications: Victory Institute manages the Out for America map, a database and research tool that documents every known openly LGBTQ+ elected official in the United States. It also releases an annual Out for America research report that analyzes the current state of LGBTQ+ representation in elected office by demographics and position levels. Victory Institute also promotes the work and achievements of LGBTQ+ elected officials in the media and through its email listserv. It will provide media strategy and support to elected officials who face homophobic or transphobic attacks as well.
