This week champions of equality showed up and turned out at Network for Equality! We are deeply grateful to our Host Committee, Sponsors, Supporters, and everyone who made this event an incredible success.
Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we grieve the 26 transgender Americans who were killed this year. Year after year, we see that these victims are disproportionately Black women and women of color.
SELLING OUT FAST: Network for Equality is our LGBTQ+ networking event! Have your colleagues, friends, and neighbors gather for an incredible community event - all while supporting Equality Illinois’s pro-LGBTQ+ civil rights work. Buy your tickets today! equalityillinois.us/network-for-eq…

We’re thrilled to gather again in celebration for the 2024 Equality Illinois Gala! At this year’s Gala, we will share the story of how our community has fought for progress and still carved out victories in spite of those who aim to drag us backward.
On #NationalComingOutDay, I am holding space for those who aren’t in a safe place to come out and live their authentic lives. I promise to keep working for a future where everyone can feel secure enough to share and revel in their identities.
There has never been a more important time to boldly stand up for the LGBTQ+ community. Today, on #NationalComingOutDay, I stand with every person in endeavoring to live a life of their own design. In Illinois, we say gay. And so long as I am governor, we will keep it that way.
We are grateful for today’s call to action and remain committed to servicing every community across the state. Next spring, we're opening a #helpline to support those who experience or witness bias and hate. We also plan to host a summit to convene important stakeholders.
Illinois is no home for hate! Thank you, @ADLMidwest, for releasing your "Hate in the Prairie State" report. Executive Director Elana Kahn was proud to stand with you, @ILAttyGeneral, @50thWardChicago, @ChiCCHR, and other community leaders.
Books are a powerful tool in the journey for justice. This #BannedBooksWeek, @UChicago announced the Banned Books Collection-- a database available to every Illinoisan in person or online. As the first state to outlaw book bans, we continue to speak out and act decisively.
🎉CHAMPAIGN-URBANA🎉 Equality Illinois is out & proud today at CU Pride Fest! Our team is collecting petitions to protect sex-workers in Illinois & engaging with folks to build a stronger LGBTQ+ community. Stop by our booth today 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
