Dear Q Force Member,
Back in late 2023, a concerned group of community activists and leaders came together from all parts of the Chicago LGBTQ+ community, to discuss how we might make a difference in the ominously important upcoming 2024 general election. As we did successfully in 2020 in Michigan, our aim was to mobilize to save democracy in our critical neighboring states, using our collective superpowers to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot in Wisconsin and Michigan. The goal was to gather a motivated group of 500 people from our community to actively participate in voter activation (door-to-door canvassing, text/phone/postcard banking) leading up to and including Get Out The Vote (GOTV) on Election Day.
With all that has happened since, our goal is 100% the same, and the stakes are just as high, if not higher, given what we have seen and heard from the GOP candidates for President and Vice President, along with the many MAGA extremists running for offices up and down the ballot. Q Force is committed to doing our part to band together to elect VP Kamala Harris and Democrats (including some amazing LGBTQ+ candidates) in these critical states. The time is now. Will you be part of that team of 500 superheroes?
With VP Harris generating excitement across America, the upcoming Democratic National Convention here in Chicago and the calendar down to less than 100 days from the election, this is our moment! We all need to gather our like minded friends and neighbors and look at events and activities that will make an impact and positively channel our enthusiasm.
We would be remiss if we didn't thank President Joe Biden for historically putting country before self and also thank him for his support for democracy and being one of the very first to support our community when it came to equality. He has passed the torch to VP Harris and to us! Let's not let that flame go out. Click here to see what we are doing and make sure to send to others so they can sign up to learn what we will be doing from now to election day (our email signup is at the top of that page). Signing up to be on our list doesn't commit you to any one activity or event, but it does count you as part of our Q Force, where we use our powers for positive change!
Now let's get to work!
Yours in Equality,
Q FORCE LEADERSHIP TEAM
