Equality Maine operates as the political advocacy arm of EqualityMaine, a statewide nonprofit based in Portland, Maine. Described as Maine’s oldest and largest LGBTQ+ political advocacy organization, it focuses on advancing rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people through policy efforts and civic engagement. With a small staff, it partners on public campaigns and events, including a June 2023 pride garden party organized with Seacoast Outright and Historic New England. Its target audience includes LGBTQ+ residents and allies seeking policy change and educational outreach within the political arena. The organization has backed programs such as The Queer Network, started in 2020 to provide workshops and social events for young adults, and in 2022 appointed Gia Drew as executive director.
