Organising for change : resources to support LGBTI community organising work

Developments in Europe pose important questions to the LGBTI
movement about the kind of change we would like to see. In a
time when nationalism and populism win by appealing to fears
and insecurities, divisive rhetoric is increasingly normalised
and space for civil societies is shrinking. Legal change and
political change need to be complemented with profound social
change. The way in which we address issues is important and
must be based on the values we appeal to and the vision of
society we portrait. It is about winning people’s hearts and minds,
people’s wellbeing, and it is about building a common ground
with more people. At ILGA-Europe we believe that for social
change towards acceptance of diversity and equality to happen,
LGBTI people and communities must be at the core of the work.
