OUR MISSION
Keystone Equality empowers LGBTQ+ Pennsylvanians so they can have a strong political voice in PA.
Through voter mobilization, electoral advocacy, and political organizing, Keystone Equality centers LGBTQ+ Pennsylvanians in the fight for equality, equity, and inclusion on the basis of sexual orientation, gender and gender expression identity across our state.
Keystone Equality has filed for 501(c)(4) nonprofit status.
Who WE ARE
Keystone Equality’s volunteer board and volunteer committees are a diverse and ever growing group of committed Pennsylvania LGBTQ+ advocates and allies who believe Pennsylvania-based leadership and community based activism will make a difference.
We believe collaboration must be accountable, transparent, and genuine. We can and will succeed as Pennsylvanians who are standing with and for Pennsylvanians.
We are Keystone Equality, and we are in this together!
WHAT WE FIGHT FOR
Whether it is the protecting your right to marry the person you love, or campaigning for LGBTQ+ employment nondiscrimination, or advocating for the ability of transgender youth to gain the benefits of the best public education possible, Keystone Equality stands with and for all LGBTQ+ people residing in Pennsylvania.
As queer individuals ourselves, we know the concerns you have. As advocates, we understand the issues that are involved.
That’s why we are political activists, why we work on PA statewide and municipal legislative projects, why we bring voters information on LGBTQ+ issues, and why we work with local, statewide, and national elected officials and community organizations to ensure you and those you care for are protected from harm.
