Equality Federation

Equality Federation is an advocacy accelerator rooted in social justice, building power in our network of state-based lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) advocacy organizations.

We work collaboratively on critical issues—from advancing workplace fairness and family recognition to defeating anti-transgender bills and HIV criminalization laws—that affect how LGBTQ+ people experience the world from cradle to grave. The greatest opportunities for victories to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people are in the states—where the work is hard but the impact is great. Equality Federation builds state-based leadership and resilience through our programs to catalyze the national movement for equality and win policy changes.

We are a highly motivated and organized group of professionals who operate in distributed organization; our entire team works remotely, collaborates online, and gathers for in-person staff retreats and member convenings several times each year.
