LGBTQ Merced is Merced’s newest LGBTQ+ activism and advocacy group.
Our members are collectively responsible for the creation of Merced’s existing queer traditions, including the Merced LGBTQ+ Alliance, GLSEN Merced, the Merced Pride Center, the transgender support and resource group at the MAC, LGBTQ+ group art exhibitions at the MAC, and more. We are experienced organizers, and this is our latest project.
Join us as we create a open, democratic, radically inclusive and transparent LGBTQ+ organization, dedicated to the future of Merced and the surrounding areas.
We welcome help and membership from all community members committed to these values. We envision a connected queer Merced, united in ambitious and progressive goals that benefit the entire community.
