Our Activism:

Stonewall Democrat's work within the Democratic Party has lead to tangible benefits for our families. Most of this work has taken place on the local level. Our work has seen Democratically-controlled bodies repeatedly enact pro-equality legislation through local school boards, county commissions and state legislatures. Local change doesn't always receive the same amount of press as federal legislation. In recent years, however, our equality has arrived through grassroots politics - just the kind of political activism that Stonewall specializes in!

Our Purpose:

• Inform Democratic candidates and officeholders of issues of importance to members of the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered community and our supporters (herein also referred to as the GLBT community);


• Promote the Democratic Party's message of economic justice and social progress in the GLBT community;


• Evaluate candidates for public office and actively support those candidates who best promote the Organization's mission;


• Encourage the participation of members of the Organization in the campaigns of Democratic candidates and at all levels of the Democratic Party;


• Facilitate the election of Democratic candidates to public office by maximizing Democratic turnout in the GLBT community;


• Build coalitions with other organizations and communities that support the Organization's mission, reach out to underrepresented and diverse groups within our community in order to bring about greater harmony and understanding and increase the Organization's visibility and influence through participation in community activities and events;


• Make Tarrant County a better place for GLBT people to live, work, play and raise families.
