Resources from PFLAG National at pflag.org

PFLAG’s history has been an amazing story of how members across the nation have changed the lives of people in their communities by education and altered the direction of national policy through their advocacy.

Started in 2002, Bringing the Message Home is a project that focuses the advocacy efforts of PFLAG members to influence federal legislation by helping them meet with legislators between Mother's Day and Father's Day to discuss issues that matter to our families.

The project features a set of issue briefs and talking points on bills pending at the federal level that members can use for lobbying visits, and includes a guide on the "how-to’s" of everyday lobbying.
