Online Event: Educators For Equality 2020 Networking Event

October 19, 2020 - 6:00PM to 9:00PM EST

Join Educators for Equality—a grassroots organization of LGBTQ educators and allies who are working to build safe and inclusive environments for educators and students in New Jersey—for a special networking event!

Established in 2004, Garden State Equality (GSE) is the largest LGBTQ advocacy organization in New Jersey and one of the most successful statewide civil rights organization for the LGBTQ community in the nation. Our services include advocacy, policy work, and training.

Our signature programs are: Map & Expand, Pledge & Protect, and Teach & Affirm.

In collaboration with community partners, Garden State Equality led efforts to ensure nondiscrimination for transgender people and gender-nonconforming people in New Jersey, we passed the most comprehensive anti-bullying law in the country, ended sexual orientation and gender identity/expression change efforts in New Jersey (sometimes called conversion therapy), and brought marriage equality to the Garden State!

All our current work is informed by racial, economic, and disability justice concerns. We are working to address safe environments for youth, improvement of health services that meet LGBTQ community needs, and respectful treatment of seniors. Beyond that, Garden State Equality supports New Jersey's activist community by bringing an LGBTQ lens to the shared struggle for justice. 

Garden State Equality is a member of the Equality Federation.
