About County Equality Teams
  • Based on the volunteer-driven Neighborhood Team model that proved successful during the Obama campaign, our Neighborhood Equality Teams provide the opportunity for people to be involved at a local level in this important movement for equality.
  • The mission of our Equality Teams is as follows:
    • Establish an active and visible presence in the community for marriage equality.
    • Develop relationships with local elected officials and supportive organizations to create an opportunity for sharing resources and building local power.
    • Coordinate regular voter contact actions - including canvasses, phone-banks, tabling at community events, and registering new voters.
    • Represent the community in important state-wide actions, trainings, and conference calls focused on marriage equality.
  • Over the past six months, local activists have established 44 Equality Teams in 23 counties.  Those teams have hosted more than 140 events, knocked on thousands of doors and have held countless successful and moving conversations with undecided California voters.
