This year, we explored beautiful Baltimore, MD, while also leading workshops about our work in Georgia. Our favorite part every year, though, is meeting with and learning from our incredible state-based partner organizations who are working across the country to advance LGBTQ+ equality.

Thanks to all of our friends at #EqFed26 for the laughs and lessons shared! We can't wait to do it again next summer! 🩷

Today is Non-Binary People's Day, a day to recogni Today is Non-Binary People's Day, a day to recognize and honor the unique experiences of non-binary people and to celebrate gender diversity.

When so many are raised to believe that they must fit within the traditional gender binary, it is incredibly important to uplift non-binary visibility and to affirm non-binary identities, demonstrating that non-binary people are valid and deserving of love, affirmation, and support.

Non-binary friends and siblings, we see you, we hear you, and we celebrate you this week and every week! 💛💜🖤

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Lar We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Larry Pellegrini, a beloved mentor, trailblazer, and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community in Georgia.

Larry made history as one of the first openly gay lobbyists at the Georgia State Capitol, paving the way for generations of advocates. Larry also became Georgia Equality's first political director in 1997.

We are grateful to be a part of Larry's incredible legacy, and he will be sorely missed.

Jeff Graham, executive director, issued the following statement in response:

“It's with a heavy heart that I share the passing of Larry Pellegrini. For the past several years, Larry has worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center as a legislative advisor, though Larry's work at the capitol and advocacy within the LGBTQ+ community goes back decades.

My earliest memories of Larry come from his time as a member of Queer Nation and the work they did to fight employment discrimination by Cracker Barrel. Larry’s leadership contributed to national attention to these discriminatory practices and helped to organize multiple demonstrations against the restaurant chain.

One of my favorite memories of Larry was on Peachtree Street outside of the offices of the health department. While several of us blocked traffic in protest of inhumane HIV policies, Larry stood guard negotiating with police for our safety as we were dragged off to jail.

Larry was the first political director hired by Georgia Equality in 1997. 

In that role, he helped to mentor me and as we organized a multi-year campaign that led to increasing state funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program.

Larry was there as a trusted advisor and friend when I first came to Georgia Equality in 2008– introducing me to legislators and helping to secure funding for our voter engagement work during a critical election year.

Trusted advisor. Mentor. Friend. That's how so many of us will remember Larry: with fondness and appreciation.

Rest in power, dear friend.”
ACTION ALERT: Today, Georgia Equality joined part ACTION ALERT:

Today, Georgia Equality joined partners in demanding the release of Pauline Binam. Pauline Binam is a 36-year-old Black migrant, survivor of domestic violence, and single mother who has lived in the U.S. for over 34 years. She’s been detained at Stewart Detention Center for nearly 6 months.

Years ago, Pauline was detained at Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia, where she became one of the women subjected to medically unnecessary procedures performed by a physician contracted by ICE. Pauline had part of her fallopian tube removed without her consent. She courageously spoke out about what happened and provided testimony to federal agencies investigating abuses inside the detention center.

After her release, Pauline survived years of severe physical, sexual, and emotional abuse in an intimate partner relationship. She ultimately secured a protective order against her abuser and obtained a U Visa Certification, recognizing her eligibility to apply for immigration relief as a survivor of violent crime.

Today, despite surviving detention abuse, medical violations, and domestic violence, Pauline is once again facing the threat of detention and deportation.
