This 24-month project is focussed on building internal skills, and capacity to create and realize a strategy, culminating in a sustainable and ongoing public advocacy program focussed on: recognition (creating positive narratives through celebrating and amplifying 2SLGBTQI+ people and achievements); thought-leadership (fact-based research to surface key issues relating to identity and equity across a variety of sectors); and fostering community change networks (sharing timely, credible information and engaging disparate organizations to create alignment and urgency around key issues).This positions PTP as an information hub creating and distributing credible, fact-based information to “debunk” anti-2SLGBTQI+ myths and campaigns as well as filling in information gaps where there is no data.

Through this 42-month project, Alter Acadie NB, New Brunswick’s Franco-Queer organization, will strengthen the capacity of 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations and their networks to promote equality for 2SLGBTQIA+ people. It will address two key issues: strategic planning and the collection of reliable data and insights on the challenges and barriers faced by New Brunswick’s French-speaking 2SLGBTQIA+ community. The project will focus, on the one hand, on positioning the organization to contribute more effectively to advancing gender equality in the province across priority areas of activity by improving its advocacy capacity and strengthening member engagement, and, on the other hand, strengthening Alter Acadie NB’s organizational management to provide more active support for the sustainability of the 2SLGBTQIA+ movement in New Brunswick.

Centering voices from the Muslim communities, service providers, and people with lived experiences, the project will assess their needs through focus groups, a community survey, a community forum, and a literature review.
