The Equality Texas Foundation launched the Equality Project in Dallas on September 26, 2007. The Equality Project is a public education program on policy issues and their effect on Texas citizens. The Project also trains participants to establish relationships with their state representatives and senators, and to advocate for policy changes with their elected officials. The Project aims to engage the public in maintaining continuous conversations with their elected officials about matters of public policy that are directly impacting constituents' lives. It is these conversations about real people's lives that will ultimately motivate policy changes to eliminate discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

 

Equality Texas also offers Train the Trainer workshops to instruct individuals on how they can teach others to advocate for policy changes.
