This site archives the historic work of the NW Network of Bi, Trans, Lesbian, and Gay Survivors of Abuse.

For decades, the NW Network developed survivor-led strategies and community-rooted tools and frameworks to address intimate partner abuse in diverse LGBTQ communities while celebrating LGBTQ love and relationships.

The original website is no longer accessible and may not return. At a time when so many seek uncensored, unscrubbed resources that reflect LGBTQ survivors’ lives and the grass-roots development of the anti-violence movement, this archive ensures continued access to foundational and essential documents.

We share these materials in the spirit they were created—as perpetual drafts, grounded in lived experience, and always open to deeper nuance—with a belief in our collective power to build loving and equitable relationships in our homes and communities.

If you have NW Network pdfs, electronic docs, or printed material that you don’t see in the archive, PLEASE share it with us so we can add it here.

Archive users may access the materials here for organizing, research, teaching and learning, direct advocacy services, community engagement and cultural work, and other non-commercial purposes.
