Equal Rights Washington (ERW) is a statewide political advocacy organization for the LGBT community of Washington State. ERW works to end discrimination against LGBT people throughout the state.
ERW’s sister organization, Equal Rights Washington Education Fund educates Washingtonians about issues of equality and helps coordinate the efforts of LGBT and allied organizations across the state.
The ERW political action committee (PAC) works to elect pro-equality senators and representatives to the state legislature.
ERW evolved from a long tradition of LGBT rights organizations in Washington State:
Dorian Group (1970’s into the early 1980’s)
Privacy Fund (1980’s and early 1990’s)
Fairness Lobby (late 1990’s to early 2000’s)
Hands Off Washington (mid to late 1990’s)
Mission Statement:Equal Rights Washington (ERW) works to ensure and promote dignity, safety, and equality for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Washingtonians.
