  • held our second annual, two-day, 60-person Out in the Open Summit for rural & small town LGBTQ folks at the Broad Brook Grange in Guilford, VT
  • launched our Trans Book Group, a monthly gathering of trans and genderqueer people discussing books written by trans authors with support from Brooks Memorial Library
  • held the second Earth Gay Vermont at local queer- and trans-owned Circle Mountain Farm
  • recorded over 30 hours of interviews with local LGBTQ trailblazers who founded and participated in Andrew's Inn, a gay bar in Bellows Falls from 1972-1985
  • maintained monthly programming through Played Out! Monthly game night, Friday Night Group for LGBTQ youth, and trans night
  • trained 150+ local social service agency employees on how to best work with and support LGBTQ people
  • held our second annual Pride Family Picnic celebrating their LGBTQ families
  • organized an LGBTQ community vigil in 6 hours after the Orlando shooting
  • organized a gathering in the wake of the November 8th election, held on November 9th
  • organized two workshops and provided on-going support to 30+ local trans people who are looking to change documents before January 20
  • supported several all-community rallies with local racial justice groups in support of the Movement for Black Lives
  • held a Trans Day of Remembrance + Resistance event in collaboration with the Women’s Freedom Center
