Momentum grew out of the work of Wisdom2Action, a national consulting firm and social enterprise. As a firm, Wisdom2Action worked closely with 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations across Canada. Through our social enterprise commitments, we had already supported numerous advocacy campaigns alongside queer civil society and grassroots activists.
With the rise of anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate, and continued inequalities experienced by 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, we saw a critical gap in the national queer eco-system: there was no national organization focused explicitly on political advocacy for queer communities. With the anti-2SLGBTQIA+ lobby gaining power and influence, we knew something had to be done. And thus, Momentum was born.
Our role? To mobilize 2SLGBTQIA+ people and allies who believe in freedom, equality and human rights. For queer people. For everyone.
