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.

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.

Cannon has devoted her legislative work to protecting Georgia’s most vulnerable, including LGBTQ+ Georgians. Not only has Rep. Cannon served her constituents, but Cannon has also prioritized empowering the community– from offering leadership and advocacy programs, to mentoring transgender and gender non-conforming advocates, to acting as a guide to all those unfamiliar with state politics.

While her time in the State Capitol may be coming to an end, we know that Rep. Cannon's legacy will continue, as will her commitment to serving the community.

Happening this Friday! Join Georgia Equality and p Happening this Friday! Join Georgia Equality and partners as we come together for a vigil to raise awareness of healthcare funding cuts and how it impacts all of us. We know that #CutsKill and we will not be silent as our healthcare access is dismantled en masse!

Fast facts:
➡ Last year, lawmakers approved more than $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, public health & rural hospitals, delaying implementation until later this year. 
➡ Over 15 million Americans are losing their health coverage – the largest coverage loss in U.S. history.
➡ Researchers estimate these cuts will cause over 51,000 preventable deaths every year.

Happy Pride, y'all!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨ As we kick off Pr Happy Pride, y'all!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

As we kick off Pride Month, we're celebrating the defeat of all anti-LGBTQ bills in Georgia and the passage of a bill expanding access to critical HIV prevention. We've demonstrated that we can come together to not only fight back against attacks, but we can also achieve proactive wins for ourselves and our community!

We know there is still so much to fight for, but we're grateful to be in this fight and in community alongside you.

We hope to see many of you at Pride festivals across the state during the coming months, and we hope you'll plan to join us to celebrate at Evening for Equality on June 27! Tickets available through our #linkinbio now.
