[Español en los comentarios]

2025 was not an easy year for our community, and yet, this year is a testament to how we can still show up, and foster the joy, connection, and care that no law, restriction, or headline can take away from us.

We started the year celebrating the official release of our Sonoma County Q***r Needs Assessment, sharing the pressing needs and collective strengths of our local LGBTQIA2S+ community in order to forward initiatives to increase access and community well-being.

Throughout 2025 we gathered and connected at events like Social Saturdays, TDOV & TDOR, QTBIPOC Hangouts, and more! Sharing joy, grief, and everything else in-between ❤️

And now, we’re ending the year with 3 months into our new larger Community Center, a longtime dream that we’re grateful to be able to share with you all, and continue to be a space where you can access what you need and be your authentic self.

Thank you for another year supporting us, laughing with us, crying with us, and laughing with us again through the tears. What ever 2026 brings, we’re right there with you.

We’ll see you all again in the New Year 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This year, we didn’t just show up.
We shifted the landscape.
From q***r joy as strategy to language as access, from rewriting systems to claiming visibility in public space, these milestones weren’t just moments. They were moves.
They prove what’s possible when community care is treated as essential infrastructure, not an afterthought.
And they happened because people like you chose to invest in access, dignity, and collective power.
As we close out the year, we’re asking our community to help us carry this momentum forward.
💗 We’re currently 66% of the way to our $25,000 End-of-Year goal.
⏳ And right now, your gift goes twice as far.
Thanks to a limited-time match from Lemonstrike Creative Studios, all donations through December 31 are matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $6,000.
✨ This is how landscapes shift - together.
Donate today. Help us finish the year strong.

Este año, no solo estuvimos presentes.
Cambiamos el entorno.
Desde la alegría q***r como estrategia hasta el lenguaje como acceso; desde reescribir sistemas hasta reclamar visibilidad en espacios públicos, estos hitos no fueron momentos aislados. Fueron movimientos.
Demuestran lo que es posible cuando el cuidado comunitario se trata como infraestructura esencial, no como algo opcional.
Y todo esto fue posible porque personas como tú eligieron invertir en acceso, dignidad y poder colectivo.
Al cerrar el año, invitamos a nuestra comunidad a sostener este impulso.
💗 Actualmente hemos alcanzado el 66% de nuestra meta de fin de año de $25,000.
⏳ Y en este momento, tu donación vale el doble.
Gracias a una donación igualada por tiempo limitado de Lemonstrike Creative Studios, todas las donaciones realizadas hasta el 31 de diciembre serán igualadas dólar por dólar, hasta $6,000.
✨ Así es como se transforma el entorno - con juntes.
Dona hoy y ayúdanos a cerrar el año con fuerza.

No habrá grupo hoy,
pero el año se enciende nuevo,
con su promesa tibia
de caminos por estrenar.
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Que el 2026 nos encuentre
más cerquita,
tejiendo instantes que laten,
bordando comunidad
en cada gesto,
en cada encuentro
que el tiempo nos regale.
Que vengan días amplios,
risas que hagan hogar,
y la certeza suave
de que seguimos juntes
en lo que viene.

This is what impact sounds like.
It sounds like feeling less alone.
Like being able to speak your language freely.
Like knowing that, no matter what’s happening in the world, there is a place where you are accepted and loved.
Across our programs, community members consistently tell us that connection is the impact and that the consistency and safety of our care is essential to their emotional resilience.
Nowhere was this clearer than on November 6, 2024, when Drop-In attendance surged to over 5x our daily average in the immediate aftermath of the U.S. Presidential Election. In a moment of fear and uncertainty, our community came together. To ground, to grieve, to heal. And to remind one another we don’t face hard times alone.
That is collective care.
That is community protection.
And that is what your support makes possible.

We’re now 50% of the way to our $25,000 End-of-Year goal ($12,504 raised).
Every gift helps sustain these spaces of belonging, language access, joy, and care, especially when our community needs them most.
✨ Help us finish strong.
Donate today and keep this care alive.
https://posimages.harnessgiving.org/campaigns/19848

Así suena el impacto.
Suena a sentirse menos sole.
A poder expresarse en tu propio idioma.
A saber que, pase lo que pase en el mundo, existe un espacio donde eres aceptade y amate.
A través de nuestros programas, les participantes nos dicen una y otra vez que la conexión es el impacto y que la constancia y la seguridad de nuestro cuidado son esenciales para su resiliencia emocional.
Esto fue especialmente evidente el 6 de noviembre de 2024, cuando la asistencia al Centro Drop-In aumentó a más de 5 veces nuestro promedio diario tras las elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos. En un momento de miedo e incertidumbre, nuestra comunidad se buscó para apoyarse, para sanar y para recordarse que no estamos soles.
Eso es cuidado colectivo.
Eso es protección comunitaria.
Y eso es posible gracias a tu apoyo.

Actualmente estamos al 50% de nuestra meta de fin de año de $25,000 ($12,504 recaudados).
Cada donación ayuda a sostener estos espacios de pertenencia, acceso lingüístico, alegría y cuidado, especialmente cuando nuestra comunidad más lo necesita.
✨ Ayúdanos a cerrar el año con fuerza.
Dona hoy y mantén vivo este cuidado.

[Image description: PI’s Youth Support Group graphic for the fourth week of December. The theme of the month is “Do Good December” in all-caps in a bold dark red font. Above the theme is the Positive Images Logo with black text. Under the theme is “LGBTQIA+ Youth Support Group (12-18)” in smaller non-bold text. The weekly theme is below in all-caps in a larger bold font, all text is the dark red color. (No Group :( ) At the bottom of the page in smaller, non-bold text is “December 25, 2025 from 6:30-8:30PM. Positive Images is a safe and sober community space.” All the text is on a centered piece of paper, with a second piece peeking out from the left side of the paper, with a paperclip at the top holding both together. The background is a medium red, with slight darkening towards the top and bottom of the image. There are several gold stars randomly placed around the background, and a polaroid picture of a person offering another an umbrella in the rain is pinned to the right side of the paper near the middle.]
