Movement Advancement Project

Movement Advancement Project (MAP) is a vital nonprofit organization committed to advancing LGBTQ equality through research, advocacy, and targeted messaging. With a focus on creating impactful changes in public policy, MAP provides essential resources like messaging guides, best practices, and effective communication tools for LGBTQ organizations and allies. Their "Talking About LGBTQ Issues" series helps bridge understanding gaps among undecided audiences by presenting core issues of LGBTQ rights—such as marriage equality, nondiscrimination protections, and mental health support—in relatable terms.

MAP’s offerings also include educational materials on critical topics like transgender rights, adoption, and combating hate crimes, aiding advocates in shaping conversations around these important matters. By fostering inclusive dialogue and promoting shared values, MAP not only supports the LGBTQ community but also encourages broader societal acceptance and understanding. With resources available in English and Spanish, MAP strives to ensure that everyone can engage meaningfully in discussions about equality and social justice, making a significant impact in the pursuit of a more equitable society.
