Join the Fight to Protect ALL LGBTQI+ New Yorkers
Equality New York is A grassroots LGBTQI+ advocacy organization FIGHTING TO ADVANCE THE LIVES OF OUR COMMUNITY & THEIR FAMILIES
Advocacy. Community. Coalition Building
A historic wave of bills targeting queer and trans rights have garnered widespread attention and outrage, sparking a dangerous rise in anti-LGBTQI+ rhetoric and violence.
Since the beginning of 2023, there have been more than 500 anti-LGBTQI+ bills introduced in the United States of America.
Equality New York has been and continues to be at the forefront of the fight for queer and trans liberation both locally and state-wide.

Our Advocacy Institute provides the education and resources needed to help build the leadership of all LGBTQI+ New Yorkers and allies.
The goal of the program is for individuals to identify local challenges in their community and create solutions through developing programs, community building, and policy change.

Equality New York’s LGBTQI+ Local Capacity Building Program trains and supports small to medium sized organizations throughout New York State. Local leaders and organizations know their communities’ needs.
