What we do

Equality NC is a statewide group dedicated to securing equal rights and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. We work toward that goal by effectively lobbying the North Carolina General Assembly, executive branch, and local governments on issues like employment discrimination, hate violence, privacy rights, sexuality education, adoption, domestic partnership, HIV/AIDS, and more. We also work to engage North Carolinians with educational programming and outreach efforts.

Equality NC refers to three connected nonprofit corporations: Equality NC, Inc., the parent organization, conducts our lobbying and advocacy efforts; Equality NC PAC works to elect fairminded candidates; and Equality NC Project provides educational programming on LGBT issues and conducts campaigns to build public support for equal rights.
