Campaign for Southern Equality
Every day that we live with injustice is one day too long
The Campaign for Southern Equality is working to build a South where LGBTQ people are equal in every part of life. A South where your zipcode doesn’t determine your rights. Where all of us are free to be who we truly are and love who we truly love.
The South is changing due to the courage and strength of the LGBTQ community. We’re working to accelerate that change by:
grassroots organizers and activists to support a new generation of LGBTQ leaders.
to resources and direct services for LGBTQ folks in the South.
organizing in response to immediate political threats and building political power through through long-term strategies.
Our work is rooted in empathy and in commitments to equity in race, gender, and class.
We're creating a pipeline of resources to the LGBTQ South to help folks access services and to provide funding and training for grassroots organizers.
