St. Louis Queer+ Support Helpline (SQSH) is a grassroots, community-based, queer, and immigrant-led organization facilitating healing spaces and providing holistic support for queer St. Louisans to thrive. Their mission is to support and empower the St. Louis LGBTQIA+ community through peer-based emotional support and non-judgmental space holding, and facilitating education and advocacy to uplift queer St. Louisan stories.
The Own Our Power Fund (2023-2025) is providing a two-year grant to support SQSH expand capacity for regional distribution of the 2023 ‘Dreaming Towards Liberation’ Queer Community Anthology, which promotes wider engagement with community-sourced creative works by and for queer St. Louisans and creates greater financial stability for SQSH by widening an avenue of grassroots fundraising.
