Georgia Equality (previously the Georgia Equality Project) is the largest LGBTQ rights advocacy group in Georgia.[2] Their mission is to advance fairness, safety and opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and allied communities in Georgia. Their work has included political endorsements, boycotts, protests, advertising campaigns,[3] and lobbying.[4]
It is based in Atlanta[3] and was founded in 1995.[5] A Savannah chapter was formed in 1998, and is the only chapter outside of Atlanta.[6] The organization is a member of the Equality Federation.[7]
