Heron has volunteered for over five years supporting and advocating for bisexual and pansexual communities. Heron's advocacy has brought them to the White House and into the homes of powerful bisexual advocates across the country. 

Heron's frequent presentation topics include: disparities facing bisexual and pansexual people, how to remedy those disparities through public policy advocacy, and what LGBT organizations and allies can do to better support bisexual and pansexual people.

​

Heron is also the author of an important series of reports on bisexuality from the Movement Advancement Project, available here.
