First-ever national queer women's survey wants you!

Policy, advocacy, and research are driven by data. When there's no data about a community, it's harder for that community's needs to be met by lawmakers, organizers, and academics.

That's where the National LGBTQ+ Women*s Community Survey comes in. This historic national research project is the first of its kind, created by LGBTQ+ women, for LGBTQ+ women.

By taking less than an hour out of your day to participate in the National LGBTQ+ Women*s Community Survey, you can become part of a historic dataset that will help advocates, social service providers, policymakers, and researchers understand the answers to these questions and many more.

With your help, we can build knowledge and create a resource for changemakers for years to come.
