Advocating for and Serving Greater Renton's LGBTQIA+ Community
Founded in 2019, the Renton LGBTQIA+ Community is building a strong inclusive sense of belonging, empowering members to promote positive change in our communities, combating prejudice and discrimination, and providing support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and similarly-identified people.
If you’d like to get involved, send us an email at rentonlgbt@gmail.com, subscribe to our email list, or join our Facebook group.
Throughout the month of June, we’re encouraging everyone to support local businesses and organizations that have been allies of the Renton LGBTQIA+ Community, especially during recent tough times. Check out our Pride Passport page to download your own copy!
The Renton PD Safe Place Program offers victims of hate crimes shelter if they are feeling unsafe – a place where they are welcomed, they can call the police, and wait until officers arrive. Through partnerships with local businesses and organizations, Renton PD Safe Place program decal provides a visual clue for anyone experiencing violence or harassment based on their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
For information about the Renton PD Safe Place Program please contact the Liaison, Officer Cat Citron at 206-445-5910 or ccitron@rentonwa.gov.
Until further notice, all of our meetings are being held via Zoom web conference, which also has a telephone call-in option. Meetings are open to the general public. To attend any meeting, please click its REGISTER link.
