Our Joy is Resistance mural project has officially begun! Yesterday, volunteers came out to prime the fence and prepare it for the 12 artists who will begin their work on each section of our fence and gate. Thanks for getting messy with us 🎨🫟

Why is Pride month so important? #autonomyproject #Pride #lgbt🌈 #pridemonth

Founder and resident spicy raccoon, Fembot assembling our gorgeous enamel pins to their new backs. These were designed by us! #pridemonth #autonomyproject #enamelpins

Did we really forget to share these amazing photos from the Cat Rave in August? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oh well, better late than never! Shots by the very talented FixedByFellx.

Destigmatizing SW means paying attention to the language we hear every day. Stigma doesn’t always sound like hate. It shows up dressed as concern, respectability, or care. We’ve been unpacking how these coded messages work and why they still do harm. https://t.co/N9zMTpdqwg

As an entirely volunteer-run org, these are just a few of the heroes that devote themselves to creating safe spaces for our community. Did you know our volunteer team is over 120 strong now? 😎

You’re not just invited. You’re summoned. Devil’s Night is our queer Halloween rave for the beautifully unholy. Three DJs. Aerial performances. Candy. Costumes. Bring your inner demon and come sweat it out on the dancefloor. November 1st | 7:30pm-1am https://t.co/u8k6PYzQeL

You gotta leave your house! #AutonomyProject #columbusohio #LGBT #columbuslgbtevents #dndgamers #altlifestyle

Supportive community is where we get to practice telling the truth. Where “I’m fine” can become: “I need support,” “I’m overwhelmed,” “I’m human.” And instead of rejection, you’re met with care. Because here, you don’t have to carry it all alone. 💜

Our Comm*UNITY Potluck for AP was a hit! We met so many cool new faces, bonded over some good eats, and we cant wait to do it all again! If you’re interested in supporting/joining this amazing community- check out our volunteer opportunities and memberships on

Our event space becomes so many different things depending on the vibe needed.

What is The Autonomy Project? We’re a place where people thrive, not just exist. From workshops to community events, we create spaces for people to express themselves and grow authentically. Learn more about our mission at the link in bio! #autonomyproject #wickededen

The future we deserve isn't a dream- it's something we build together. #autonomyproject #nonprofit #lgtbq🏳️‍🌈 #givingtuesday #activism

So ask yourself: am I watching from the sidelines, or am I helping stir the pot? Because together is the only way this works. 💜

Audiences are fun for concerts. But they don’t build community. Community is alive when you participate: when you bring your energy, your presence, your creativity into the mix. That’s what makes our spaces safer, braver, and more alive.

What's the difference between Autonomy Project and Wicked Eden? #autonomyproject #wickededen #columbusohio #lgbtqia

A little peek at last night's Art Paint Create night. 👀 Great turnout in spite of the snowy weather. See ya at the next one! #autonomyproject

They want us exhausted. They want us numb. But we will not become what they expect. We will be fierce. We will be relentless. We will be joyful. We refuse to be erased. #autonomyproject #joyisresistance #wewillnotbesilenced

What's the difference between Wicked Eden and The Autonomy Project? Let our Executive Director, Jamie, give you all that good info!

Your support did THIS! (Watch to the end for the kitty montage) We raised $3k for @colonycats and our mutual aid fund with the Cat Rave, proving that collaboration is where the magic happens. Want to keep helping? 🐈 https://t.co/JpwMjmlaFd 🌈 https://t.co/aVRUd4M4Bw
