Equality California (EQCA), the largest statewide LGBT advocacy organization in California working to secure full and lasting equality for and acceptance of LGBT people, announced that it will be supporting undeclared candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
“We want Hillary Clinton to run and are ready to mobilize our 800,000 members to help her win,” said Rick Zbur, Equality California Executive Director. “We’re enthusiastic about her candidacy because she has the best record of accomplishment on LGBT issues of any potential candidate. Equality California is ready for Hillary!”
EQCA notes Clinton’s accomplishments and leadership with respect to LGBT rights as a reason for the early endorsement. EQCA is expected to mobilize its membership and fundraising capabilities to support Clinton who is expected to announce her candidacy in the next few weeks.
