History is past, present, and future: we honor the profound impact of Black trailblazers, both those living and those who have passed, whose creativity, resistance, imagination, and resilience continue to lead us to a brighter tomorrow. ❤️💛💚🖤 #BlackHistoryMonth

Trans youth still have a safe haven in California — but that could change "We know that these cases and policies are going to have a critical impact on trans young people, who are already such a vulnerable minority”, said one advocate about the Trump administration’s polici...

"The right is continuing to use trans people as a tool for igniting fear and hate, putting young people at risk in the process.” - EQCA Communications Director Jorge Reyes Salinas. calmatters.org/education/20... @calmatters.org

Proud to earn a 100% score on the 2025 @eqca.bsky.social
State Legislative Scorecard. Equality isn’t a slogan—it’s a commitment. I’ll keep fighting for a California that is just, healthy, and truly equal for all LGBTQ+ people.

I'm proud to score 100% on Equality California's 2025 State Legislative Scorecard

I am proud to have a 100% score from Equality California @eqca.bsky.social. As the federal administration attempts to undo the progress we have made in advancing LGBTQ+ rights, California has emerged as a leader in defending the rights, dignity, and safety of the LGBTQ+ community. #EQCAleg

The right to choose is the right to life. While we continue to defend our protected rights here in California, we won't rest until everyone, regardless of where they live, have control over their own bodies. #BansOffOurBodies

62 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gave a speech that altered the course of this country's history. We honor his words, his memory, his legacy, and his fight — while it's far from over, we follow his footsteps and dream, too, of a better tomorrow.

These proposed rules are unscientific, inconsistent, unlawful, & inaccurate, & denying trans people access to life-saving medical care has cruel & devastating repercussions. Public comments are powerful tools advocacy & future litigation — take action NOW! eqca.org/cmsrules

Renee Nicole Good, a wife & mother of three — a member of our community — who had her children’s favorite stuffed animals in her car’s glovebox — is the woman Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are calling a ‘domestic terrorist.’ Not on our watch.

So-called “conversion therapy” is not legitimate healthcare. In 2012, California became the first state to ban conversion therapy for minors. While state protections will remain regardless of the outcome of Chiles v. Salazar, we are committed to a future where conversion therapy is fully eradicated.
