Transgender Advocacy

Advancing the civil rights and dignity of transgender Georgians.

June 27: Evening for Equality Tickets and Sponsorships available NOW

Get Tickets

Georgia Equality is dedicated to building a stronger, more visible transgender community across the state. We work to cultivate leadership and independence within the trans community while forging meaningful relationships with businesses, corporations, and legislative policymakers. Through training and education, we help develop transgender-inclusive policies, and we actively advocate for laws that protect gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation for all Georgians.

Our work extends beyond policy — we are committed to expanding transgender awareness through visibility, community organizing, and grassroots advocacy. Whether you’re looking to get involved, access resources, or add your voice to the movement, there are many ways to take action. Sign our pledge to support transgender equality and stay connected on upcoming advocacy opportunities, or explore our Transgender Voting ID Toolkit and Resources Page to learn more.

For more information contact Georgia Equality’s Gender Policy Manager, Dr. Christy Perez at Christy@georgiaequality.org.

Mapping Progress Across Georgia

For over 30 years, our organization has achieved great success for LGBTQ+ rights across the state. But the work continues. See the legislative wins, bills in progress and local campaigns that have contributed to progress across Georgia.
