Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Civil Rights, Lesbian & Gay Rights, LGBTQ
Mission: OutFront Minnesota’s mission is to create a state where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are free to be who they are, love who they love, and live without fear of violence, harassment or discrimination. We envision a state where LGBTQ individuals have equal opportunities, protection and rights. We are working toward the day when all Minnesotans have the freedom, power and confidence to make the best choices for their own lives.
Target demographics: LGBTQ+ Community
Geographic areas served: Minnesota
Programs: Each year, OutFront Minnesota’s Anti-Violence Program assists with more than 1,000 incidents of anti-LGBTQ bias/hate violence , relationship abuse, and sexual assault. We provide crisis intervention services, legal assistance, confidential crisis counseling, and other advocacy services for LGBTQ+ victims of violence and harassment. A 2018 national survey revealed that 74% of LGBTQ+ students felt unsafe at school (HRC). Our Educational Equity Program works with students, educators, youth service providers, advocates, pre-service teachers, educational leaders, community groups, and policymakers to support and create school environments that help humans to feel safe, respected, and valued. Working with constituents, public institutions, and elected officials, including members of Minnesota’s Legislature, OutFront Minnesota promotes the human rights of LGBTQ Minnesotans. Our work shaping public policy—while always directed toward gaining recognition of the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Minnesotans—takes many different forms.
