2016 Accomplishments

We are pleased to share with you our 2016 Accomplishments (and since then we have been even busier!)

 

Voter Outreach

 

  • Endorsed candidates for various municipal elections.
  • Chapter members made over 2,000 phone calls, assisted with literature drops, and provided financial support for the chapter’s endorsed candidates in the St. Petersburg city council election. Through the Stonewall Political Action Committee, chapter members donated over $1,500 to the candidates, in addition to individual contributions from members.
