Tell Congress to Pass the Equality Act Now

The overwhelming majority of Americans agree: Everyone deserves to live free from discrimination. Unfortunately, millions of LGBTQI+ people reside in states that fail to provide them with critical legal nondiscrimination protections and that have passed an onslaught of discriminatory anti-LGBTQI+ bills. A recent nationally representative survey by the Center for American Progress revealed that 36 percent of LGBTQI+ adults experienced discrimination in 2024. This percentage jumps to 40 percent for LGBTQI+ adults of color, compared with 26 percent for non-LGBTQI+ adults of color.

That’s why we need the Equality Act. This landmark piece of legislation would strengthen and expand federal civil rights laws to ensure clear, consistent, and comprehensive nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQI+ people in all states. Share your support for this landmark legislation!

Tell your members of Congress: We need the Equality Act.
