Designing Queer Futures

Help OP Shape Queer Public Spaces in D.C.

We want to hear from you! As part of World Pride 2025, and in support of the DC Comprehensive Plan, DC 2050, the Office of Planning is hosting a community workshop to reimagine how D.C. supports LGBTQ+ communities through inclusive public spaces, public art, housing, and more.  Your input will help shape ideas for inclusive, safe, and joyful spaces for queer people. Whether you're a long-time resident, new to the city, or just visiting, your voice matters. Your responses are anonymous and will directly inform the design and themes for contributing to a more inclusive and vibrant D.C.

Your Voice Matters!
