LAMBDA Alcoholics Anonymous is an “open” meeting designed to meet the needs of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community who face substance abuse challenges.

LAMBDA AA is the oldest, continuously running, queer-friendly AA meeting in northwest lower Michigan, with references going back to the 1980’s. Our members include “old-timers” with decades of clean and sober living, and newcomers clean and sober for their first day.

We offer a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. Learn how a clean and sober lifestyle can change your entire outlook on life.

If you’re ready to explore a clean and sober lifestyle, please join us. We meet every:

• Tuesday evening from 5:30 - 6:30 in a safe and caring environment at the UNP Community Center, 314 8th Street, Traverse City

• Saturday morning, 11:00 am- 12:00pm in the basement of Grace Episcopal Church, 341 Washington St, Traverse City. This meeting is a hybrid meeting with Zoom capability. Zoom connect information is: Meeting ID 555 946 8823, PW 62

Join Our Weekly Equality Phone Banks! Every week, EQMI will be hosting phone banks to connect with voters across districts all over the state, identifying and mobilizing Equality Voters who care about fairness, inclusion, and justice for all.

These phone banks are one of the most effective ways to build real momentum heading into next year’s midterm elections. By having direct conversations with voters, we’re not only helping people get engaged early, we’re also gathering critical information that will guide our strategy for the months ahead.

The data we collect now helps us understand which areas are energized, where we need to focus more outreach, and how to tailor our message to meet voters where they are. This groundwork will be essential as we ramp up organizing and voter mobilization efforts in the spring for the midterm elections.

Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or brand new to phone banking, we’ll provide all the training and tools you need. Every call makes a difference and every volunteer helps build the foundation for equality and progress in the next election. What to bring: Please bring a laptop, phone, and headphones to each phone bank.

We’ll provide all the training, scripts, and support you need to feel confident making calls. If you can’t join us in person, no problem! We can set up a one-on-one training session at a time that works best for you so you can make calls from home at your own convenience.

Just email acherry@equalitymi.org to set up one-on-one training. Every volunteer, every call, and every conversation helps strengthen our movement for equality and progress. Join us weekly and help us make a difference, one call at a time!
