Who We Are

The Equal Rights Initiative is a newly formed grassroots organization that seeks to advance the struggle for equal marriage rights and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer liberation.

On May 26, the CA Supreme Court upheld the bigoted Prop 8, denying same-sex couples the same social and economic rights granted to heterosexual couples. LGBTQ workers still face discrimination in every aspect of society in the U.S, including on the job. As the politicians and the courts capitulate to reaction and further sell out the LGBTQ community, what is needed now is an independent, unified civil rights movement.

Civil Rights are non-negotiable! Desegregation and women’s suffrage were both products of grassroots civil rights movements directed against a system of discrimination, not products of a popular vote. Prop 8 will only be overturned through mass opposition in the streets.

If you are interested in joining the struggle for LGBTQ liberation, please contact us and get involved! Fill out the volunteer form now.
