Legislative Session is Over - What to Know
It's Going to Be Okay!
North Dakota is not hopeless, we can survive anything that happens this year and work for a better future starting now. This is a scary time for LGBTQ+ individuals in North Dakota. No matter what laws are in place the most protective factor for LGBTQ+ individuals is their friends and family (chosen or otherwise). Be kind to yourself, check in and be kind to your loved ones. Hear from me personally on Facebook Video.
Two Bills have capacity for significant harm, both are immediately law
