About Equality Federation

Equality Federation operates as an advocacy accelerator serving the LGBTQ+ community from its Portland, OR headquarters, leveraging a network of 50 state-based member organizations to drive meaningful policy change. The organization specializes in advancing critical issues that impact LGBTQ+ individuals across their entire lives, from workplace fairness and family recognition to defeating anti-transgender legislation and reforming HIV criminalization laws. Equality Federation combines strategic advocacy with civic engagement programming, working collaboratively with state partners and national stakeholders to build active bases of LGBTQ+ supporters in every state. Their approach integrates both ground-level activism and leadership development, recognizing that sustainable social change requires strong, resilient organizations led by adaptive leaders. The organization provides tailored organizational development support to state-based partners, with a particular commitment to advancing racial equity and justice within the LGBTQ+ movement. Through coordinated efforts on cross-cutting issues including reproductive justice and immigration reform, Equality Federation amplifies the collective power of the state-based LGBTQ+ movement. As an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion, the organization actively welcomes applications from people of color, indigenous people, and transgender individuals who share their vision of advancing equality and justice throughout the country.
