Equality New York (EQNY) builds a social and political voice for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and Instersex communities of New York State. We work with leaders from all around New York in an intentionally collaborative, inclusive, diverse, and respectful way. We aim to advance LGBTQI protective policy, convene and organize LGBTQI leaders, people, and organizations, and elect candidates who support the various needs of our diverse community throughout the state. .
Currently, the EQNY coalition is comprised of 60+ different organizations, which ensures that no matter the size, organizations have an equal vote in what LGBTQI issues we prioritize in New York State.
