Welcome to Local Marriage Equality USA Chapters

Marriage Equality USA currently has members in every state and local chapters operating in 3 states: California, New York, and Utah.
We are very proud of our Chapter Leaders -- our chapters are guided by our front-line activists, volunteer leaders working within their local communities to change hearts and minds, one conversation at a time. These volunteers work with their families, co-workers, neighbors, community coalitions, local elected officials, and local media.
If Marriage Equality USA doesn't have a chapter in your area, click here for information on how to begin one. If Marriage Equality USA has a chapter in your area, we urge you to contact your local chapter leader to see how you can help! See Meet Our Chapter Leaders to virtually "meet" our Chapter Leaders.
