The States

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
