Black LGBTQ+ history made, with more to come:

Future Black History [LGBTQ+ Victory Fund logo]( Folks, Happy Black History Month! This month, we'll be highlighting the phenomenal Black LGBTQ+ leaders who paved the way. But there's still so much history to make. Today, there are barely 140 out LGBTQ+ Black officials in the entire country. Black people and LGBTQ+ people continue to feel the consequences of this underrepresentation in policies and legislation that target our communities. But we are working to move us forward. In 2024, Victory Fund's [Black Leaders Caucus]( will recruit and support more LGBTQ+ candidates than at any time in our history - including the historic candidates listed above. Victories for these candidates will also increase representation for people of color, immigrants and women - and ensure equitable representation for the entire LGBTQ+ community. [Advancing equality is not just critical for LGBTQ+ people – but for all people.
