The organization has earned recognition as the leading strategic partner to 50 member organizations spanning from Equality Florida to Freedom Oklahoma to Basic Rights Oregon, demonstrating a deep commitment to amplifying grassroots power across all fifty states. At its core, Equality Federation believes that winning equality is a marathon requiring investment in developing tomorrow's leaders today, which is why the organization prioritizes building strong, sustainable organizations capable of adapting to evolving community needs. The federation's work reflects an integrated commitment to racial equity, recognizing that justice for LGBTQ+ communities must be inseparable from racial justice efforts.
