OUR
MISSION
As an organization we are working to ensure that everyone in our community, in our state and in our country be treated equally. We believe that no one should have fewer opportunities to succeed in life because of the color of their skin, where they were born, what they believe, who they love, their gender or gender identity or whether they have a disability (seen or unseen).
Ellington Equality is committed to social justice through advocacy, awareness and education. We promote equality in our community through status, rights and opportunity.
