Debi Jackson
I help organizations communicate LGBTQ+ inclusion effectively — whether building, advancing, or defending it.
For more than two decades I've worked at the intersection of strategic communications and LGBTQ+ advocacy — first in corporate marketing, then alongside the organizations doing the hardest work in the hardest political environments.
My clients have included the Human Rights Campaign, the National Education Association, Equality Texas, and US federal agencies including the State Department and Department of Justice. I've led messaging strategy, crisis communications, legislative campaigns, educator and healthcare provider training, and organizational narrative development.
I'm particularly suited to organizations navigating anti-LGBTQ+ political pressure, DEI backlash, or the transatlantic spread of US-style opposition tactics. Based in Spain, I work with organizations across the US, Europe, and internationally.
If you need someone who has been in the room — and knows what to say when the room gets hostile — that's what I do.
Services
A focused conversation to explore your project or goals and determine whether a deeper engagement makes sense. Ideal for organizations beginning to scope a communications, DEI, or advocacy project and looking for senior input early. We'll discuss your needs, I'll share relevant experience, and we'll determine together whether and how I can help. If we move forward to a project or retainer engagement, the cost of this call is applied toward your first invoice.
Need focused support on a specific messaging challenge, rapid-response situation, or content strategy question? This one-hour working session gives you direct access to 25+ years of communications and advocacy expertise. Come with your materials, goals, or obstacles — you'll leave with concrete, actionable direction you can implement immediately. Ideal for organizations or teams that need senior-level input on a specific problem without a longer engagement.
