Industry Survey

Answer: Through grassroots activism, voter engagement, and legislative advocacy, Freedom Virginia is pushing our elected officials and candidates to take action to build a better, more economically secure Virginia. Our team is committed to amplifying the voices of the working class and furthering the fight for a more affordable Virginia.
Question: Do you have any LGBTQ+ board members? Include any information, if possible, about how they represent LGBTQ+ issues in your organization.
Answer: Multiple of our Community Organizers are LGBTQ+. When approaching the issues that we work on, especially healthcare issues, we keep in mind that the LGBTQ+ community (as well as communities of color) are often disproportionately affected by these affordability issues and do our research to make sure that we're representing that reality accurately.

Answer: We don't have any queer-specific training materials.
Question: How do you make your organization a safe and affirming place for LGBTQ+ people to be?
Answer: By ensuring that we are always inclusive and affirming of people from all walks of life, by including pronouns in all staff bios/email signatures/internal channels, supporting LGBTQ+ advocacy in our communities and tabling at Pride events statewide, and by providing all employees with a comprehensive healthcare package and unlimited sick/mental health days.
