Equality Toledo works to eliminate discrimination in our region based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Through education, advocacy, and anti-defamation efforts, we strive to create a more inclusive, equitable, and affirming community for all. Whether you’re looking to make a difference, connect with others, or support our mission, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
