Coalition Partners

ACLU

ACLU's nationwide tracking system to publicly documents and categorizes anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in state legislatures across the country.

Family Equality

Family Equality’s mission is to advance legal and lived equality for LGBTQ families, and for those who wish to form them, through building community, changing hearts and minds, and driving policy change.

Human Rights Campaign

The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where every member of the LGBTQ+ family has the freedom to live their truth without fear, and with equality under the law. We empower our 3 million members and supporters to mobilize against attacks on the most marginalized people in our community.

Long-Term Care Equality Index

A joint initiative of SAGE and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the Long-Term Care Equality Index (LEI) is the first national benchmarking tool for LGBTQ+ inclusion in senior housing and residential long-term care communities. The LEI includes self-assessment surveys and free tools, resources, and technical assistance that help communities adopt and enhance policies and practices that promote culturally competent and responsive care to LGBTQ+ older adults.

Modern Military Association of America

Formed through the merger of the American Military Partner Association and OutServe-SLDN, the Modern Military Association of America is the nation’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to advancing fairness and equality for the LGBTQ+ military and veteran community. Through education, advocacy, and support, we are making a real difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ service members, military spouses, veterans, family members, survivors, and caregivers.

National Center for Lesbian Rights

With a commitment to racial and economic justice and our community’s most vulnerable, NCLR is a leader at the forefront of advancing civil and human rights for LGBTQ individuals and their families through impact litigation, public policy, and public education.

Project THRIVE

Project THRIVE is a collaborative effort of many national organizations, each committed to identifying opportunities within their own sphere of influence to increase awareness about and provide resources to address the unmet needs of LGBTQ youth and to highlight best practices and success stories from their respective professional fields.

SAGE | Advocacy and Services for LGBTQ+ Elders
