Goal met: Thanks to your support, we hit our $25K end-of-year fundraising goal!

We must fight far-right extremism in 2026.

The right-wing extremists in the North Carolina General Assembly aren’t just “disagreeing” with us anymore. They’re weaponizing the law to literally attempt to erase trans folks, immigrants, and Black and Brown North Carolinians from the legal fabric of this state. They are using the law as a partisan weapon to dismantle DEI and finalize the assault on our rights.

The Crisis: Discriminatory Laws Are Spreading Fear

This isn’t just about Raleigh or D.C. It’s about the local decisions that dictate our safety, our healthcare, and our very existence.

Equality NC is the engine powering the critical races in 2026. We provide the boots-on-the-ground organizing and the resources needed to elect pro-equality leaders in every corner of our state.

These legislative threats demand our action:

  • HB808: Prohibits gender-affirming medical care for trans youth.
  • HB574: Bans trans women from participating in school sports.
  • SB49: Forces teachers to out LGBTQIA+ students to their families.

When discriminatory laws spread fear and hostility, Equality NC is mobilizing our base on the frontlines.

Your Gift Fuels the Power to Win in 2026

We have been building the power to win this year by:

  • Distributing candidate cards to highlight pro-equality candidates.
  • Door-knocking across the state to get out the vote.
  • Recruiting volunteers to mobilize communities.
  • Educating legislators on the urgent need for nondiscrimination protections.

Your gift to Equality NC’s advocacy arm fuels the power we need to win in 2026:

  • Direct lobbying to hold our elected officials accountable.
  • Mobilization campaigns to defend trans youth in the legislature.
  • Policy advocacy for nondiscrimination protections in housing, employment, and healthcare.
ACT NOW: YOUR GIFT IS YOUR POWER

The stakes are high. With 382,000 LGBTQIA+ adults living in North Carolina, we cannot afford to lose ground. Your gift today will help stop anti-trans attacks and push for policies that affirm dignity and equality for all.
