Equality Virginia seeks a Director of Advocacy who will lead statewide and local legislative advocacy campaigns on issues related to LGBTQIA+ rights by monitoring legislative activity, analyzing new and changing legislative language, convening and training community members to advocate directly to decision-makers, and educating community members about LGBTQIA+ related bills. This work requires close collaboration with Virginia’s community and civic leaders, social justice and LGBTQIA+ organizations, faith communities, unions, and businesses, as well as elected officials across the political spectrum.
With your support, we'll be able to continue our work to build the leaders of today and tomorrow, strengthen state-based LGBTQ+ organizations, and make critical progress on the issues that matter most—like protecting transgender people, ending HIV criminalization and ensuring access to care, and banning conversion therapy across the country.
