Organizing

At VIVID, we believe in the power of direct action to effect immediate change. Our nationwide network of activists, allies, and communities works tirelessly to protect LGBTQIA+ rights, hold corporations accountable, and push for legislative reforms. From street rallies to boardroom confrontations, our organizing efforts transform outrage into tangible impact. This is not a momentary uprising; it's a sustained movement where every voice and effort counts.

Grassroots Mobilization

Power from the People

Real change begins with the people. We are a grassroots movement fueled by individuals, not corporations or political entities. Our strength lies in community-driven initiatives that mobilize action, disrupt injustice, and build lasting power. Every person who joins us is part of a network committed to taking action—not just supporting from the sidelines.

What Comes After the Protest?

Turning Momentum Into Lasting Change

Protests are powerful. They disrupt. They demand attention. They send a message. But protests alone aren’t enough.What happens after the march is just as critical as the march itself. VIVID ensures that the energy of the streets translates into real, measurable action.

Legislative Pressure: A protest means nothing if it isn’t followed by demands for policy change. We apply direct pressure on lawmakers, flood phone lines, and demand legislative action—ensuring that our voices aren’t just heard but acted upon.
Corporate Accountability: If a company profits from our community while supporting anti-LGBTQIA+ agendas, we expose them, launch boycotts, and demand change. No more rainbow-washing.
Ongoing Grassroots Action: After the protest, we don’t stop—we mobilize local chapters, organize town halls, and develop targeted strategies to keep the pressure on.
Community Support & Protection: The fight doesn’t end when the crowd disperses. We provide resources, crisis intervention, and emergency aid to LGBTQIA+ individuals who face backlash, violence, or systemic harm.
Voter Mobilization & Political Power: Protesting is one step—electing leaders who fight for us is the next. We ensure that our momentum fuels voter registration drives, candidate support, and strategic political engagement.

Protests are not just a moment—they are a movement. VIVID makes sure that every action leads to real change.
