Highly Engaged Employees

Equality Florida is a political advocacy group that advocates for civil rights and protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) residents of the U.S. state of Florida. Equality Florida consists of two organizations - Equality Florida Institute, Inc., the 501(c)(3) educational charity and Equality Florida Action, Inc., the... 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. Together with over 300,000 supporters, these organizations form the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida's LGBTQ community. Equality Florida has always existed in a hostile political climate, carving out victories despite strong opposition. Over 60% of Floridians are protected from anti-LGBTQ discrimination thanks to more than 200 local non-discrimination, safe schools, and domestic partnership policies passed since Equality Florida's inception. In addition to their work in Tallahassee, they work with local partners, providing resources and helping to build coalitions that have passed pro-equality laws across the state. Equality Florida provides leadership trainings, volunteer opportunities, and sponsorship opportunities to engage and grow the LGBTQ and ally communities involved in the fight for LGBTQ equality. Equality Florida has been ranked a top-rated non-profit by Great Nonprofits,Read More
