Equity Forward conducts extensive research and investigative work to ensure the transparency and accountability of groups and individuals who are attacking human rights, including reproductive freedom, gender equity, access to quality healthcare racial justice, and equal protections for LGBTQIA+ communities. We conduct robust public records research, qualitative interviews, opposition research, legislative tracking, and policy analysis. In addition to our research-driven campaigns, we provide fact sheets, reports and public records analyses. We break down complicated findings and make our information easily accessible and user-friendly for the communities we work with.
This year concerningly marks the highest number of anti-transgender bills in history, many of which are the result of coordinated efforts led by national anti-LGBTQIA+ hate groups, including Alliance Defending Freedom and Family Watch International.
