EMERALD COAST EQUALITY
Emerald Coast Equality is the Escambia County Chapter of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus, which represents the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community to the Florida Democratic Party. Our local chapter is one of 20+ chapters across the state.
The Caucus is a voice that seeks to instill awareness of the freedoms of a democratic society, educate future leaders, support the community at large, and maintain an ongoing rapport and increasing viability with political entities.
WHAT WE DO
We work to achieve our mission in four ways: Educate. Advocate. Support. Elect.
• Provide information, resources and support to our diverse LGBTQ+ community and its allies
• Cultivate and campaign for candidates from the LGBTQ+ community and those who support our community.
• Lobby for legislation and policies that recognize and strengthen our community.
• Promote the ideals of the Democratic Party.
2025 Membership Drive OPEN
Our 2025 membership drive is now open. The recent election results are disappointing and the immediate future will be challenging. However, we are stronger together. And frankly, and sadly, we are no strangers to attack and scapegoating. Our community has a history of persevering! Let’s stick together and take care of each other, especially those most vulnerable to harm. Please join us in the fight.
Click here to join or renew your Emerald Coast Equality membership. Everyone counts and everyone's support is needed. Please join us in our fight for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. Our allies are an important part of our chosen family and their participation is always welcome.
