The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is committed to building the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender movement at the state and local level.
State legislatures wield significant power by passing laws that affect our lives at every level.
Statewide organizations with activist members are critical to building the power and infrastructure to pass laws and push for policies on hate crimes, families, children and civil rights. On an ongoing basis we assist individual states as well as work with new, emerging groups to bring them into the broader network of state organizations. Through the development of a strong and vibrant state infrastructure, our movement will expand its vital work. The Federation approved a 5-year Strategic Plan at the 2000 Summer Meeting in New Orleans. The Federation is governed by an Executive Committee that is geographically diverse.
