The Audre Lorde Project is a nonprofit community organizing center serving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color in New York City. It functions as a hub for organizing, advocacy, and support aimed at addressing the needs of LGBTQ+ people of color. Operating in the civic and social sector, the organization collaborates with broader civil society to advance rights and wellbeing for its communities. The organization operates with a modest staff, reflecting its scope as a localized community-focused entity. In 2021, the Audre Lorde Project partnered with Masjid al-Rabia, a women- and LGBTQ-centered group, to lead an evening of reflection and prayer in honor of Ramadan, illustrating cross-community collaboration. Based in New York City, it serves as a regional hub for intersectional identities within urban LGBTQ+ communities.
