First, Equality Florida provides technical support to local groups, government agencies, private business and corporations and offers information and training on fundraising strategies, ordinance and policy drafting, campaign planning, community outreach, youth support and workplace diversity, as well as, updates and interpretations on laws affecting the GLBT and supportive community.
Second, we mobilize tens of thousands of voters in support of equal rights legislation.
