For some time, we have been approaching this beautiful and powerful moment in our organization's history, as we have evolved over the years from a purely direct service emergency hotline called DataCall in 1986 to the vibrant social justice, grassroots, community-owned and movement-building organization we are today. Over the years we have changed our vision, mission and structure, but we have been missing a name that reflects who we are today.

After a process of deep listening to our community for the overarching values that guide our work, we have arrived at new names that hold the spirit of who we are: SURVIVORS ORGANIZING FOR LIBERATION (SOL) & BURIED SEEDZ OF RESISTANCE (BSEEDZ).

Name changes in our LGBTQ communities are often a sign of regaining power, announcing our arrival and expressing fully who we are and what we stand for. Changing our names comes at a time when we choose to stand for what we believe in - resistance and liberation.
