About
Goal met: Thanks to your support, we hit our $25K end-of-year fundraising goal!
Equality North Carolina (ENC) is the nation's oldest statewide organization committed to securing rights and protections for the LGBTQ community. We aim to ensure that every North Carolinian sees themselves reflected in this movement, working together to create a safer, more equitable world for all marginalized individuals. Together, we can build a better North Carolina.
Our long-term goal is to achieve comprehensive statewide nondiscrimination protections based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression across housing, employment, public accommodations, credit, insurance, and education, without exemptions that single out LGBTQ people.
At ENC, we believe in the power of unity and action. Join us in building a brighter future for all North Carolinians.
We envision a thriving, liberated North Carolina with a powerful LGBTQ community united in service of racial and social justice.
Equality North Carolina builds LGBTQ power through advocacy, education, and uplifting the stories of queer and trans North Carolinians in pursuit of racial and social justice.
