The Lavender Newsletter is an independent publication by and about the Urbana-Champaign queer community. It's run by a group of local queers who care about our community and want to share information with each other. We write for The Lavender Newsletter with a goal in mind: giving each other the information we need to connect and take action. We want to be your local information source, with a journalistic bent.

News is often not by us or for us, and pretending it's "objective" isn't getting us anywhere. With that in mind, we want to do something different. We want to be honest about the perspective we are coming from and give you the information you need to share with your community why you think what you think. Our publication prioritizes anti-racism and liberation for the most marginalized among us and we write from that perspective.
