Equality California Political Action Committees

Equality California’s Political Action Committees advocate for candidates who support full equality for all Californians and issues that protect the civil rights of all people, including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). EQCA’s PACs also work to fight misguided efforts that could delay our progress toward full equality.

Securing the Freedom to Marry

NO on 8 – Equality California works in conjunction with NO on 8, Equality for All, a coalition of diverse organizations working to stop and defeat Proposition 8. Prop. 8 is the November ballot measure intended to deny same-gender couples their fundamental freedom to marry under California law. EQCA is a founding member of Equality for All and is one of the campaign’s most significant contributors.

Electing a State of Equality

EQCA’s Candidate PAC endorses fair-minded candidates and supports the campaigns of policy leaders who advocate the fair and equal treatment of all Californians, including those who identify as LGBT. The Candidate PAC works to expand the number of equality-minded representatives in Sacramento, ensuring that we can continue our progress toward true equality. EQCA’s Candidate PAC only endorses candidates that support equality for all members of the LGBT community 100 percent of the time.
