Pink Menno

Pink Menno was a decentralized group that advocated for lgbtqia+ justice across the Mennonite Church. Pink Menno leaders actively organized around denominational conventions from 2009-2019. Pink Menno's work was instrumental in a multi-fold movement that led to Mennonite Church USA's 2022 Resolution for Repentance and Transformation, the ordination of openly lgbtqia+ pastors, and the use of direct action to create change within church institutions.
