Envisioning a South Carolina Where Everyone Can Thrive

Take Action

SC United for Justice & Equality envisions a South Carolina where everyone can thrive, with a focus on the lived and legal equality of LGBTQ people.

The coalition advocates for the passage of legislation to protect LGBTQ community members and opposes anti-LGBTQ legislation. The coalition also works on intersecting issues of social justice, including racial justice, reproductive justice, voting rights, and health care access. 

Legislative Priorities

Opposing and Defeating Anti-LGBTQ+ Bills

Anti-LGBTQ+ legislation – like those related to youth policy, or “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” efforts in schools and governments, or those that complicate identity documents – must be stopped.

Protecting Students from Discrimination and Censorship

Coalition members are rallying against the state’s continued attacks on truth, education, and identity.

Advocating for LGBTQ Nondiscrimination

Lawmakers in South Carolina should listen to their constituents and move forward on LGBTQ equality: 58% of South Carolinians support nondiscrimination protections.

Resources for Trans Youth & Adults Impacted by H. 4624

In 2024 South Carolina lawmakers passed H. 4624, a bill that prohibits transgender people under the age of 18 from receiving essential medical care and restricts this care for many transgender adults.

This law is devastating, but we will get through this together as a community. Our coalition partners have resources available for trans youth and adults to continue receiving this medically necessary healthcare, including patient navigation support, resilience workshops, emergency grants, and more. Reach out, and their teams will be in touch.
