Protect Our Pride: Understanding the WV Legislature Workshop

Do you care about what happens in West Virginia, but feel confused, frustrated, or unsure how to make a difference? You’re not alone. And you don’t have to navigate any of this by yourself.

Join Fairness West Virginia for a clear, practical, and empowering workshop that will give you the tools to understand how the Legislature works, where LGBTQ+ rights stand today, and how to talk to lawmakers in ways that actually move people. Whether you’re brand-new to advocacy or you’ve been following these issues for years, this session will break everything down in plain, accessible language.

In one training, you’ll learn:

  • How bills really move (or stall) in Charleston

  • The major LGBTQ+ policy issues shaping West Virginia right now

  • What motivates lawmakers and how to communicate through shared values

  • How to tell your story in a way that opens hearts instead of raising defenses

  • How to follow legislation in real time and make your voice heard

  • Practical, real-world steps you can take to protect your community this session

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to help, but I don’t know where to start,” this workshop is for you.

 Come learn how to understand the process, talk about LGBTQ+ issues with clarity and compassion, and advocate in ways that actually make an impact. You’ll leave with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to stand up for your neighbors—and to make sure fairness, dignity, and freedom truly belong to everyone in West Virginia.
