Our Core Causes
Equality Without Compromise
LGBTQ+ Political Mobilization
Building Power, Not Just Representation
LGBTQIA+ visibility isn’t enough—we need real political power. VIVID trains, funds, and equips young LGBTQIA+ leaders to run for office, organize protests, and influence legislation. We’re creating the next generation of lawmakers, activists, and policy enforcers who will shape the future. No more waiting for change—we’re taking it.
Real-Time LGBTQ+ Crisis Protection
Protecting Our Own When No One Else Will
Across the country, LGBTQIA+ people are facing violence, homelessness, and legal persecution. VIVID provides emergency support, relocation assistance, legal aid, and crisis funding to protect those at risk. From helping trans youth escape hostile states to defending LGBTQIA+ individuals from eviction, conversion therapy, and hate crimes,we ensure that no one is left behind.
Holding Power Accountable
Exposing, Investigating, and Fighting Back
Too many corporations, institutions, and politicians claim to support LGBTQIA+ people while funding those who harm us. VIVID investigates, exposes, and takes action against those who profit from us while enabling discrimination. Whether it’s through boycotts, corporate accountability campaigns, or legal challenges, we make sure no one gets away with using our community for profit while working against us.
Defending Trans Lives
No Compromise, No Negotiation, Just Action
The attacks on trans people are relentless—but we are just as relentless in fighting back. VIVID defends unrestricted access to gender-affirming healthcare, legal recognition, workplace protections, and safety. We are organizing, mobilizing, and ensuring that trans people have the protection and power they deserve.
LGBTQ+ Students & Education
Fighting Back Against Censorship and Erasure
Schools are banning books, erasing queer history, and silencing LGBTQIA+ teachers. VIVID works to restore inclusive curricula, protect LGBTQIA+ educators, and defend students from political attacks. No student should feel unsafe, unrepresented, or censored. We fight back so the next generation can thrive.
Global LGBTQ+ Action
Protecting LGBTQ+ Lives Everywhere
LGBTQIA+ people worldwide face imprisonment, torture, and execution. We advocate for asylum protections, apply diplomatic pressure, and provide direct support for activists fighting for their survival. No matter where you are, we are in this fight together.
