Our Criteria

We use the following list to compile the Slate and make recommendations that:

  • Advance or secure policy-related, systemic, or structural changes that improve the lived experience of LGBTQ people, our families, and those living with HIV; 
  • Positively affect a large population
  • Accelerate big, bold, head-turning victories
  • Drive power to those with limited political power
  • Advance the wider breadth of the movement in all of their intersectionalities
  • Build lasting power in local communities
  • Bring hope to those who most need it
  • Scare the crap out of those who oppose us
