Municipal Equality Index 2012
As we make progress towards full equality at the state and federal levels, it is crucial to recognize the progress at the local level as well. In fact, we’ve found that’s often where progress begins.
Some of our community’s earliest victories took place in cities and municipalities. Even more, we’ve found that these local results have a tendency to “bubble up” to the state level and business world. Often municipalities will move first, passing nondiscriminationordinances that later serve as important models when inclusive statewide laws or corporate policies are under consideration.
The goal of the MEI is to lift up and celebrate precisely this kind of progress in cities around the country while accelerating improvements in municipalities with work left to do.
Love conquers hate.
