Silver State Equality

Silver State Equality is Nevada's statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization based in North Las Vegas, NV, dedicated to advancing equality through comprehensive advocacy and strategic action. The organization operates on multiple fronts to achieve full LGBTQ+ equality, including electoral advocacy that supports pro-equality candidates at all levels of government, from local races to national positions. Silver State Equality works tirelessly to pass pro-equality legislation in Carson City, Sacramento, and Washington DC, ensuring that the voices of LGBTQ+ people and their allies reach institutions of power throughout Nevada and across the United States.

Beyond legislative efforts, Silver State Equality advances LGBTQ+ civil rights and social justice through strategic courtroom advocacy, challenging discriminatory practices and protecting fundamental rights. The organization also prioritizes health equity and community well-being, reducing disparities in LGBTQ+ health through targeted education and advocacy initiatives. As a Nevada-based program affiliated with and supported by Equality California and Equality California Institute—the nation's largest statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization—Silver State Equality benefits from extensive resources and expertise. The organization's membership in Equality Federation further strengthens its capacity to drive meaningful change. Through coordinated efforts across electoral, legislative, judicial, and health advocacy domains, Silver State Equality works toward creating a world that is healthy, just, and fully equal for all LGBTQ+ people in Nevada and beyond.
