    Immigration Equality is building support in every Congressional district

    and creating coalitions in every community. LGBT immigrant families are

    center stage in the media, with more and more attention focused on our

    families. Together, we are closer to victory than ever before.

    Calls for assistance have more than tripled over the past year as

    opportunities for LGBT immigrant families develop. Every caller talks to

    Immigration Equalitys experts personally, free of charge.

    Immigration Equalitys intake hotline is the engine of everything we do.

    The needs of the people who call and write to us set our policy agenda.
