Equal Rights Washington
Equal Rights Washington
Equal Rights Washington (ERW) is Washington's statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) advocacy and community outreach organization. ERW's mission is to ensure and promote dignity, safety, and equality for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Washingtonians. Equal Rights Washington consists of three organizations: Equal Rights Washington, a 501(c)(4) organization which focuses on political advocacy, ERW Education + Engagement, a 501(c)(3) organization which focuses on public education with regard to LGBTQ issues in Washington, and ERW Political Action, a registered political action committee which exists to provide support to equality-minded candidates for elected office in Washington state. Each of these subsidiary organizations are headed by independent boards of directors, in accordance and compliance with state and federal law. ERW was founded in 2004 to assist in the passage of Washington State's LGBT anti-discrimination bill, which for 28 years had been introduced in the state legislature, but never passed. In 2006, ERW played a crucial role in securing the passage of this legislation, Washington House Bill 2661, now known as the Anderson-Murray Anti-Discrimination law. ERW pivoted to become the lead organization in an early fight to have the Washington State Supreme Court recognize marriage rights for same-sex couples. In 2006, the Court decided not to grant those rights, touching off a movement that would change history.

Seattle's LGBTQ+ Center
Seattle's LGBTQ+ Center
Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center is the definitive hub for LGBTQ individuals seeking affirming and responsive resources, wellness, and community. Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center cultivates access and connections to promote self-determination, liberation and joy in our communities. Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center celebrates more than 25 years of building resilience and joy in our LGBTQ communities. In 1995, a group of community activists launched what is today Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center with a bold vision of building a community stronger than HIV. This mission evolved in the 2000s when the organization introduced its Wellness Center, Arts Programs, and established a physical space where all LGBTQ people could be themselves. Today, the Center remains the leading HIV/STI tester in King County, home to several LGBTQ-affirming services, and provides access to several diverse resources. The organization is also an active force in queer youth engagement and provides LGBTQ-centered trainings that address the needs of the most marginalized people within our community. As we look to the future, we see an LGBTQ center on Capitol Hill with expanded services, an affirming space, and so much more for our communities to enjoy.

Pizza Klatch
Pizza Klatch
Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth in Thurston County Our mission is to foster resilience in LGBTQ+ youth and create a safe and positive school experience through support, education and empowerment. LGBTQ+ youth will be empowered to self-advocate, build community, develop confidence, and easily access resources as they explore and develop their identities. School will be a positive and supportive space where LGBTQ+ youth are accepted and celebrated – free to learn without violence, harassment, discrimination, suicidal ideation or self-harm. Pizza Klatch is a support group for LGBTQ+ youth and their allies that is held in classrooms during lunchtime at participating high schools. Each group is run by two trained adult co-facilitators who are members of the LGBTQ+ community or allies. Facilitators are mandatory reporters and are responsible for maintaining an inclusive, supportive, confidential environment safe from physical harm or emotional attacks for all participants. Groups are led by the needs of the youth participants, making each group unique. A typical group begins with reviewing ground rules followed by “check-ins” where teens are encouraged to share a “high” — something going well in their life — as well as a “low” something they are currently struggling or being challenged with. This is an opportunity for everyone to share and be heard about their experiences, such as homophobic harassment, feelings of judgement or marginalization, or discrimination within their family or home. Our groups are a place where youth build community and friendships that extend outside of school grounds.

PFLAG Tacoma
PFLAG Tacoma
We support the families of LGBTQ and gender non-conforming people, their allies and their community. PFLAG is a volunteer organization with locations throughout the USA and other parts of the world. We promote the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning persons, their families and friends. Please note that our primary goal is to provide education and emotional support. Due to limited resources, we are cannot provide financial support to individuals. We’re just regular people, perhaps like you, that have struggled with the emotional, societal and political issues surrounding homosexuality. The Tacoma PFLAG chapter began in 1981 as a small group of parents and friends meeting in a local church. Their commitment to justice for all led to affiliation with PFLAG National in 1996. PFLAG is a non profit organization not affiliated with any religious organization, although chapters frequently meet at churches With lifetimes of misinformation about homosexuality and gender identity, many people don’t know where to turn when they find out a family member or friend is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered (LGBT). PFLAG provides direct support to people who need answers to their questions and help with strengthening family relationships. Support groups meet each month and offer a non-judgmental outlet for feelings and a place to meet other people in similar situations. Meetings offer opportunities to learn about LGBT people and their families – through speakers, videos, and discussions. Those who come for help often become those who help others. PFLAG is making a safer world for LGBT and gender non-conforming people and their family members by dispelling myths and by communicating the truth about LGBT families and friends. PFLAG reaches out to schools, faith communities, and other organizations to encourage leadership that fosters community acceptance of diversity.
