Georgia Equality

Since its founding in 1995, Georgia Equality has been a steadfast advocate for fairness, safety, and opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and gender nonconforming communities throughout Georgia. Operating from Atlanta, GA, this dual-organization structure reflects a deep commitment to both systemic change and community empowerment. What distinguishes Georgia Equality is its integrated mission—combining legislative advocacy with grassroots organizing to create meaningful transformation at every level of society.

The organization recognizes that LGBTQ equality requires both policy change and community resilience. Through initiatives like Pocket of Faith, Georgia Equality demonstrates that faith, religion, and LGBTQ rights coexist in harmony. The organization honors the experiences and resilience of transgender and gender-expansive people, maintaining dedicated resources and programming that center their voices and needs. By organizing across Georgia's urban, suburban, and rural communities, Georgia Equality builds bridges between diverse populations and creates space for LGBTQ residents and allies to work together. As a member of the Equality Federation, Georgia Equality connects local organizing efforts with broader national movements, ensuring that Georgians have access to cutting-edge advocacy strategies and support networks dedicated to advancing equality for all.
