Educate. Advocate. Collaborate.
Our Mission.
We create spaces for community connection and collective action. Our mission is to empower queer people and allies to build a strong, unified movement that champions freedom, diversity, and strategic organizing.
I Claim Sanctuary! (I Think)
In 2023, Kansas City passed Resolution No. 230385 — the “Sanctuary City” ordinance for trans residents. We celebrated it. We shared it. But what does it actually protect?
Ezra Komo takes a deep look at the what, how, and why KC may not be the Safe Haven it claims to be.
