As we commemorate Black History Month, Georgia Equality honors the contributions of Black Americans to the LGBTQ+ and civil rights movement. We also uplift the names of Black LGBTQ+ pioneers that have contributed to our nation’s greatness.

We are grateful and in debt to those who have come before us, those who have  torn down down barriers, creating the space for us to do this work today. In honoring our heroes from the past, Georgia Equality stands hand in hand with activist and the black community as whole, today, ready and prepared for the work ahead.

Georgia Equality is committed to advancing fairness, safety, and opportunity for Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities, and our Black allies throughout the state.

This month, and every month of the year, Georgia Equality celebrates Black voices, and Black achievement, standing allied in the fight against racism and the systemic structures that negatively impact the well-being and livelihood of the Black community.

To celebrate Black lives, progression, and excellence, Georgia Equality will be hosting a series of virtual events sure to be engaging, informative, and thought provoking. Please follow us on all social media platforms, @georgiaequality, and subscribe to our email list to stay informed on Legislative updates, Action Alerts, Breaking news, Event invitations, Opportunities to get involved.
