In addition to the trailblazers who ran this cycle, these successes also belongs to the grassroots activists and community leaders who worked tirelessly to support these candidates and promote LGBTQ acceptance in communities across the country.
Together with local partners and organizations, Victory Institute has trained over 150 out leaders in Colombia alone - and over 500 leaders outside of the United States. Despite threats, pressure from anti-equality governments and at risk to their own lives, these candidates are stepping up to run. We're honored to give them the tools and training to win - and we must keep going! Donate today to train more amazing global leaders to run for office and win! [[link removed]]
