The Attorney General just secured another endorsement from a major civil rights and human rights organization, Equality California!
Equality California is the nation’s largest statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization. In a statement, they highlighted Rob’s longstanding commitment to the LGBTQ+ community and further explained why they’re endorsing him for re-election:

“Since his time in the California Assembly, Rob Bonta has been a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ people. He has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to protecting marginalized people against political and legal attacks. As Attorney General, Bonta has used the power of his office to enforce California’s laws that guarantee equal access to education, healthcare, and employment. That is why we fully support Bonta for another term as California's Attorney General. We are confident that he will continue to serve as a strong ally to our community and defend the rights and dignity of all Californians in the face of divisive policies.” - Tony Hoang, Executive Director of Equality California |
As Attorney General, Rob has fought back against efforts from other states and the Trump administration that seek to erode fundamental protections for the LGBTQ+ community. He has also ensured that California's nation-leading legal protections are enforced across the state.
From protecting LGBTQ+ children and youth from discriminatory and harmful forced outing policies to defending access to gender-affirming care, Rob is a steadfast ally for the LGBTQ+ community and will continue to be — especially as the far-right federal administration and Congress and right-wing state legislatures across the country ramp up their bigoted attacks on LGBTQ+ rights.
