OUR MISSION

The Florida GLBT Democratic Caucus represents the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community to the Florida Democratic Party. We are a statewide organization, with more than a dozen local chapters around the state, from Tallahassee to Jacksonville to Key West – and most major metropolitan areas in between. Our strength lies in the size of our organization and the ability of our local chapters and their individual members to stand up for equal rights, support candidates who support our community, and lobby for legislation and policies that recognize and strengthen our community.

Our Vision Statement says it best: The Caucus is “a voice that seeks to instill awareness of the freedoms of a democratic society, educate future leaders, support the community at large, and maintain an ongoing rapport and increasing viability with political entities.”

Working with the National Stonewall Democrats – the GLBT arm of the national Democratic Party – provides us with an even greater reach and influence on the national stage. Florida is the largest “swing state” in the country, and our mission is to regain the Democratic majority we held just a few years ago. To do that we need YOU!

METHODS

• Promote the ideals of the Democratic Party.
• Cultivate and campaign for candidates from the GLBT community and those who support our community.
• Lobby for legislation and policies that recognize and strengthen our community.
