In the next presidential term, the federal government must take additional action to dismantle barriers to social and economic justice for LGBTQ+ people.
The LGBTQ+ community experiences higher rates of poverty and participation in federal anti-poverty programs than the general population. This dynamic is even more pronounced for transgender and gender nonconforming people.
LGBTQ+ people also face compounded discrimination based on intersecting identities due to systemic racism, xenophobia, sexism, and ableism.

#FightLGBTQPoverty
About the Campaign
LGBTQ+ people and families are more likely to be living in poverty and participate in federal anti-poverty programs than the general population. During the next presidential term, the White House must prioritize addressing LGBTQ+ poverty by investing in our communities, strengthening anti-poverty programs, and fighting discrimination.
Join The National LGBTQ Anti-Poverty Action Network in demanding candidates to #FightLGBTQPoverty!
The National LGBTQ Anti-Poverty Action Network (“the Network”) is a member-based coalition of over 100 national, state, and local organizations working in the LGBTQ+, anti- poverty, and anti-hunger movements to increase awareness about and action on LGBTQ+ poverty.
As we approach the next presidential term, the Network is championing priorities across federal departments and agencies.
