Equality Arlington

Equality Arlington is a grassroots LGBTQ+ advocacy and community nonprofit focused specifically on Arlington County, Virginia. Founded around 2023, the group organizes the annual Penrose Pride Parade each June, hosts regular community meetings and town halls, and advocates for transgender youth and inclusive county policies. It has quickly become the main organizing hub for LGBTQ+ residents who want a local, Arlington-centered alternative to the larger Washington, D.C. organizations across the river.
