PROMO Fund

PROMO is Missouri’s LGBTQ+ public policy and advocacy organization defending the community’s rights and fighting to expand protections for more than 35 years. We mobilize thousands of Missourians — LGBTQ+ supporters, business and community leaders, legislators, and people from all backgrounds — every year to advocate and utilize their voices in the halls of the Missouri State Capitol and within their own communities.

------------------------------

As we navigate the turmoil of Missouri’s legislative session and an unstable federal climate, we are reminded of the incredible power you have helped build throughout PROMO’s history. Your generous support has empowered us to remain firm, allowing us to say “no” to the erosion of democracy, “no” to going back into the closet, and “no” to the continued politicization of our bodies.

Missourians deserve elected leaders who prioritize issues we care about.

Next week, we are launching our second round of Deep Canvassing, where we will knock doors to talk to people about their beliefs around LGBTQ+ rights. It is part of an our much larger goal to change people’s hearts and minds through empathetic listening around what it is like to be queer in Missouri. Through empathetic listening and understanding, these transformative conversations will begin to inoculate voters against homophobic and transphobic rhetoric and invite them to become equality voters, allowing us to shift the makeup of our state government from one of hate to one of acceptance and equality.

Your support, no matter the amount, is critical as we embark on this work. Not only does your gift aid in driving our deep canvassing program, but you’ll empower the long-lasting change we aim to create in Missouri. Together, we can change the hearts, minds, and policies that shape Missouri into a state that embraces and values each of us.
