Advocacy & Activism

Mountain Pride works to encourage all individuals to express their unique voices and authentic selves in order to effect positive change and safer spaces in our communities.

This includes advocating for reform, connecting with local and state representatives, encouraging civic engagement, and making investments for the betterment of our communities.

Organizing as a community amplifies our power and ability to bring about positive change. As we have grown as an organization, so have our advocacy efforts. We work to remain responsive so our advocacy efforts are timely and impactful to the well-being of the community we serve.
