EqualityNYC.org is assisting in setting up local groups in the New York Metropolitan Area area to organize locally at the grassroots level for full federal equality in all matters governed by civil law. This is in sharp contrast to hired lobbyists at the major LGBT organizations speaking to elected officials instead local voters and community members will pressure politicians. Please contact us at changebuilders@msn.com to volunteer. Please feel free to download the Organizers Toolkit here.
