Congressional Equality Caucus Announces Historic Membership for The 118th Congress

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Congressional Equality Caucus formally announced it is beginning the 118th Congress with 190 members, including its Chair, Co-Chairs, Vice Chairs, and Members. This is the largest membership in the Equality Caucus' history. The Chair, Co-Chairs, Vice Chairs, and Members of the Equality Caucus will support the Caucus' mission to promote equality for all people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics.

"The Equality Caucus begins this Congress with 190 members, its largest membership in history, demonstrating how many members of Congress are ready to stand up and fight for the rights of LGBTQI+ people," said Chair Pocan. "As extremist politicians continue to attack the LGBTQI+ community, the work of the Equality Caucus is more important than ever. Our community deserves equal protection under the law, and that is what our members will fight for every single day."
