We're here and we will not be erased.

The Trump administration has made a heartless, extremist political attack on transgender and nonbinary people. By threatening to enshrine a narrow definition of gender into law, it is clearer than ever they are willing to disregard science, medicine, and decency in order to push their own dogma.

At Equality Federation, we’ve been working for over twenty years to make sure you can live without fear in the community you call home. No matter what happens in Washington, we are here to fight for all transgender and nonbinary people across the country.

As transgender and nonbinary staff, we’re personally asking you to support Equality Federation today so we can continue to fight back and and win.
Our community has been beating the odds for generations. We will not stop until we have secured full equality for all LGBTQ people. We are resilient, but we are stronger together.

– Mel King & Mark Daniel Snyder
