Equality
Illinois’ premier LGBTQ networking event, Network for Equality, is taking place
Thursday, April 11, 2019 from 5:00pm – 7:00pm. This fun event serves as a space
for LGBTQ people and allies to come together, network, and build
community. The funds raised support the work of Equality Illinois, the
501c4 arm of our organization working to build a more civically powerful LGBTQ
community in the state of Illinois. For sponsorships or additional information,
please reach out to Melissa Benge at mbenge@eqil.org.

ARE YOU AN EMERGING
LEADER?
Equality Illinois is seeking a select, powerful, active
group of young professionals to become the next generation of LGBTQ leaders.
Equality Illinois envisions a fair and unified Illinois where everyone is
treated with dignity and respect, and where all people live freely regardless
of sexual orientation or gender identity or gender expression.
Ask yourself these
questions:
- Are you 35 or younger?
- Do you care about advancing LGBTQ equality throughout our state?
- Do you believe in Equality Illinois’ key priorities: Policy, People, and Power?
POLICY–We defend our civil rights wins from anti-LGBTQ attacks and advance pro-LGBTQ policies with a focus on education, health care, and criminal justice.
PEOPLE–We work to
get LGBTQ leaders in positions of influence throughout the state with an
emphasis on placing LGBTQ Illinoisans on key state boards and commissions.
POWER–We create a
civically-powerful statewide network of LGBTQ champions by identifying,
training, and supporting LGBTQ and allied community groups throughout the state
so they can grow and embolden their base.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, become an Equality Illinois emerging leader! Participation begins at $50/month or $600/year. Membership in The Emerging Leaders Circle includes recognition in our Annual Report, advanced notice of upcoming events, and complimentary entry to our Pre-Pride Parade reception.

This is EQIL May Membership Month:
Orbitz has stepped up to donate FOUR flight vouchers for travel within the U.S. lower 48 states or Canada. So, if you join Equality Illinois or renew your membership now, you will get entered into a drawing to win one of the FOUR flight vouchers.
If you think the work of securing full LGBT equality has been completed with the passage of marriage, think again. We have an aggressive agenda set in Springfield and in Washington, including strengthening anti-bullying policies and passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
