Equality Arizona is a non-profit organization made up of a 501(c)(3), the Equality Arizona Foundation; a 501(c)(4), Equality Arizona; and the Equality Arizona Political Action Committee. We use a variety of strategies to build the political and cultural power of LGBTQ Arizona. We have successfully advocated for: * Then-Governor Janet Napolitano’s Executive Order protecting state employees from workplace discrimination * Recognition of domestic partnerships in the City of Phoenix * A comprehensive civil rights ordinance in Scottsdale protecting city employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity * Healthcare and family benefits for domestic partners of state employees and their children through an administrative rule change (a legislative repeal of these benefits has been ruled unconstitutional by a federal district court and a final decision is pending) * Workplace non-discrimination protections based on gender identity for Phoenix city workers * The expansion of Arizona State University’s nondiscrimination policy to include protections based on gender identity or expression, the first Arizona state agency and fourth public university nationwide to do so. * The repeal of the "No Promo, Homo" law. * The repeal of archaic laws criminalizing same-gender relationships
