We also participate as amicus curiae (friend of the court) in cases affecting women throughout the nation. Legislative Advocacy: We draft, analyze, and advocate for bills affecting women and their families in Washington State, and provide assistance and model legislation to advocates around the region. Education: We empower people to make decisions and advocate for themselves and their families through our education materials and community forums.

Established in 2004, Garden State Equality (GSE) is the largest LGBT education and advocacy organization in New Jersey and one of the most successful statewide civil rights organization for the LGBT community in the nation. Our services include advocacy, policy work, and trainings. Our signature programs are: Map & Expand, Pledge & Protect, and Teach & Affirm.

All our current work is informed by racial, economic, and disability justice concerns. We are working to address safe environments for youth, improvement of health services that meet LGBT community needs, and respectful treatment of seniors. Beyond that, Garden State Equality supports New Jersey's activist community by bringing an LGBT lens to the shared struggle for justice.
